Supervisor Daniel J. Panico has announced the Brookhaven Town Department of General Service’s Youth Bureau Division will conduct its annual INTERFACE Back to School Drive from July 28 through August 22. This initiative aims to equip students from kindergarten through 12th grade with necessary school supplies.
“Each year, this program provides essential school supplies to children across Brookhaven,” stated Supervisor Panico. “Last year alone, more than 1,500 students received support thanks to the generosity of our residents, businesses, and Youth Bureau staff. Their dedication makes a lasting difference in the lives of local families.”
The Youth Bureau is seeking donations including pens, pencils, calculators, binders, notebooks, rulers, glue, loose-leaf paper, crayons, book covers, backpacks, and gift cards.
Donations can be dropped off at various locations:
1. Modular Devices in Shirley
2. All For You Hair Salon in Holtsville
3. College 101 Resource Center in East Setauket
4. Coram Fire Department in Coram
5. Incorporated Village of Lake Grove in Lake Grove
