Plenty of people packed the outside sidewalks of the “Helping Makes U Happy” headquarters in Center Moriches, to help them feed families in need this summer.
The local non-profit hosted a massive community yard sale, to help support a program that will feed families across the South Shore from July right up until Labor Day.
This is a time when many children do not receive meals while in school. This is why a team of Helping Makes U Happy volunteers spent a recent Saturday selling donated wares to fund this important community initiative.
“A lot of generous people stopped by to support a great cause. We had a phenomenal turnout.
We feed families and even give children backpacks with school supplies, all new supplies, for kids,” Cassy Caputo from Helping Makes U Happy told the South Shore Press as the successful community yard sale was winding down.
Cassy’s son Keith founded “Helping Makes U Happy” in 2015 as a way to give back to the community year round. Children receive new costumes at Halloween, baskets at Easter, and presents at Christmas. Resources are also raised to provide students with college scholarships.
