LONG ISLAND, NY The holidays are always the busiest time for nonprofits to help those in need in the community. But this year with the COVID-19 pandemic hitting Long Islanders hard, there is even more of a need for both donations and volunteers.
The local organization, Branches Long Island, is one of many that have been working over the past year to help provide community outreach and much-needed resources across both Nassau and Suffolk counties. The group, like many others, has seen a tremendous increase in the amount of Long Island residents in need of resources.
