Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) was on hand to support the Nassau County law enforcement leaders From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 11, the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association (PBA), Detectives Association (DAI) and Superior Officers Association (SOA) gathered
donations at the ShopRites of Plainview and Country Pointe in support of Island Harvest’s ongoing efforts to combat food insecurity across Long Island. The police unions also set up shop outside the ShopRite of Bethpage to further amplify their hunger-fighting efforts. “As we observe Veterans Day in America and here on Long Island, it is fitting and just to channel our gratitude to the men and women who served our nation into efforts ensuring that they and their families never go
hungry on our watch,” Nassau County Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “I thank ShopRite owner John Greenfield for opening his Plainview stores to this effort, PBA President Tommy Shevlin, SOA President Ricky Frassetti, DAI President Bill Bourguignon for rallying their respective teams behind this cause, and Island Harvest for all the wonderful work they do to fight food insecurity here on Long Island every day throughout the year.”

Attendees can enjoy free hot chocolate provided by The Granola Bar, a new restaurant at Woodbury Common Shopping Center, and hot pizza slices from sponsor Frantoni’s Pizzeria & Ristorante. The Town of Oyster Bay showmobile will be positioned by the intersection of Jackson Avenue and Berry Hill Road. It will again serve as a hub for entertainment and guest speakers at the season’s special event. Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, New York State Assembly member Jake Blumencranz and Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker are expected to welcome the audience.

trict will be Sunday’s headline acts.
