Red Ribbon Week celebrations filled Copiague Middle School beginning Oct. 20, as students and staff came together to promote healthy living. In preparation for the event, members of the Spirit Club tied red ribbons along the front fence of the school to raise awareness about the importance of living drug free. Students also created ribbons for teachers to
display on their classroom doors as a symbol of the school’s shared commitment to making healthy choices.
Throughout the weeklong celebration, daily announcements reinforced the message of Red Ribbon Week, encouraging students to make healthy choices and educating them about the impact of drugs on teens.
On Oct. 23, students and staff wore red to show their support for a drug-free lifestyle. During lunch periods, students signed pledges on a red ribbon, reinforcing their commitment. The ribbons are now on display in the hallway outside the cafeteria.

With food insecurity reaching record levels across Long Island, FourLeaf Federal Credit Union announced that its 17th Annual Turkey Drive to benefit Island Harvest Food Bank will take place on Friday, November 21, 2025, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM at FourLeaf’s headquarters, 899 South Oyster Bay Road in Bethpage.
Since its launch in 2008, the FourLeaf Turkey Drive has become Long Island’s largest one-day food drive, collecting more than 55,000 turkeys and 264,000 pounds of food for Island Harvest. All donations directly help supply Thanksgiving meals to families in need through Island Harvest’s network of over 300 food pantries, soup kitchens, and other hunger-relief programs across Nassau and Suffolk counties.
This year, the need is more urgent than ever. According to Feeding America’s® 2023 Map the Meal Gap report, 240,470 Long Islanders lived with food insecurity in 2023, a 10% increase from 2022, when 221,190 residents were food insecure. That means one in 12 Long Islanders (8.3%) struggles to put food on the table, compared to one in 13 the year before. Among children, 44,520 experienced food insecurity in 2023, representing 7.2% of all children on Long Island.
“Last year’s drive collected a recordbreaking 5,800 turkeys, more than 28,177 pounds of food, and $71,129 in donations, far surpassing all previous numbers,” said Linda Armyn, President and CEO of FourLeaf Federal Credit Union. “We are so grateful to the Long Island community - businesses, schools, and families - who step up year after year. With food insecurity at an all-time high, this year’s drive is more important than ever. Our mission at FourLeaf is to enrich the
lives of our neighbors, and nothing is more meaningful than helping ensure thousands of families can share a warm holiday meal together.”
Island Harvest is preparing to distribute a record 20 million pounds of food this year, exceeding levels distributed during the pandemic.
“Many Long Island families continue to face difficulties paying for increased prices for such basic commodities as food, clothing, and fuel. Add in the region’s high cost of living, and many find themselves living on the edge of making tough decisions between paying for rent, transportation, and medicine, and buying food,” explains Randi Shubin Dresner, President and CEO, Island Harvest. “With proposed federal cutbacks and other economic uncertainty, support from our longtime partner, FourLeaf Federal Credit Union, and generous Long Islanders and businesses who support the annual FourLeaf Turkey Drive is more important than ever in helping our neighbors in need enjoy a brighter, more hopeful holiday season.”
The FourLeaf Turkey Drive offers residents the convenience of DriveThrough Donation Lanes, where volunteers remove frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items, and cash contributions directly from vehicles. Non-perishable foods most needed include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices, and shelf-stable milk (no glass containers). For those unable to attend in person, online donations are being accepted. Every gift of $35 helps provide a complete holiday meal for a neighbor in need on Long Island. Donations can also be made at any FourLeaf branch.
Community involvement is at the heart of the FourLeaf Turkey Drive,
with local youth also encouraged to participate. Girl Scouts who donate will receive a special commemorative patch, and troop leaders may collect donations on behalf of their members.
Since its inception in 2008, the FourLeaf Turkey Drive has become a cherished Long Island tradition, powered by hundreds of volunteers and thousands of donors. Each year, the effort ensures tens of thousands of Long Islanders in need can sit down to a Thanksgiving meal. Today, Island Harvest provides food assistance to approximately 6,000 individuals every week, a sobering reminder of the drive’s continued importance.
FourLeaf Federal Credit Union, the largest credit union in the Northeast and the 15th largest in the nation, remains committed to supporting the communities it serves through its FourLeaf Cares program, investing heavily in local initiatives that promote equity, belonging, and stronger, healthier communities.

United Way of Long Island, in partnership with Suffolk Transportation Service, marked the 17th year of its Stuff-A-Bus program by delivering school supplies to local elementary schools, ensuring that thousands of children start the school year equipped for success.
The annual initiative, which began in 2008 under the leadership of John Corrado, President of Suffolk Transportation Service and then-Board Chair of United Way of Long Island, has grown into a community-wide tradition of giving. To date, more than 1 million supplies have been distributed, supporting children from families facing financial hardship throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
This year’s delivery included backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks, pencils, scissors, and other essential items that students need to thrive in the classroom. Supplies were distributed to schools including Loretta Park Elementary, Laurel Park Elementary, and Cordello Avenue Elementary, along with numerous nonprofit agencies and community organizations across Long
Island.
“Education is the foundation for a child’s future, but with the average cost of back-to-school supplies along with new clothes and shoes well over $500 per student, too many families are forced to choose between basic household needs and school supplies,” said Theresa A. Regnante, President & CEO of United Way of Long Island. “Through Stuff-ABus and many partners we collected more than 25,000 school supplies, including backpacks, pencils, erasers and spiral notebooks, which will remove a financial barrier for parents and give students the confidence and tools they need to succeed.”
“Seventeen years ago, our father, John Corrado, partnered with United Way to create a fundraising opportunity aimed at having a lasting impact on kids in our community and their education,” said John and Joseph Corrado, Assistant Vice Presidents of Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc. “This idea has now blossomed into an event that touches thousands of lives. As a school bus company, we are often a student’s first
point of contact before they start school every day. Through Stuff-A-Bus, we also get to feel connected to the success of our students once they get off the bus and enter the classroom. That is a special feeling!”
Stuff-A-Bus is made possible through the generosity of corporate and community supporters, including Esquire Bank, Teachers’ Federal Credit Union, The Boxery, United Way of Long Island Young Professionals Network, National Grid, Newsday, and dozens of local businesses, nonprofits, and individual donors.
