LBC&C recently hosted their Annual Back-to-School Drive benefitting the Family & Children's Association of Long Island. It's always exciting to watch that donation box fill up with shiny new school supplies, soon to be in the hands of local students in need. A little help goes a long way to ensure a child has the best school year possible. For many, this is a fun time to shop for a cool new backpack, or the biggest crayon box ever. For others, it can be a struggle to afford even the basic necessities, but you can make all the difference! Consider hosting your own annual drive, visit www.FCALI.org, or https://a.co/f8X8Ce8, for more info. Special thanks to the local Association of Legal Administrators (ALA), along with KeyBridge Smiles, LLC for arranging pick-up and delivery of these precious items! #LBCCProud #FCA #ALA #KeyBridgeSmiles #LBCCGivesBack #FCALI #ALALI
