Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio has announced the success of a recent Back-To-School Drive, conducted in collaboration with St. John’s Parish Outreach. The initiative provided essential school supplies to students in the Riverhead area, thanks to community contributions.
The drive equipped hundreds of students with necessary items such as backpacks, notebooks, and pens for the new school year. "I am so proud of our community for coming together to support our local students in need," Giglio stated. "Every child deserves the tools necessary to succeed in school, and this drive has helped make that a reality for many."
Donations were collected until August 30 at several locations including Riverhead Library and St. John’s Parish Outreach. The response exceeded expectations, allowing more students to receive supplies than initially planned.
"The start of a new school year can be a stressful time for many families, and I’m so glad we were able to ease that burden for so many," Giglio added. Supplies were distributed through schools and organizations to reach those most in need.
