To be able to help others is the greatest gift in this world. My husband and I would like to thank all of you for the amazing support we received from you for our 9 year old Rebeccas food drive and six year olds sock drive. The food drive and sock drive was a true success. Rebecca set out to fill a van…and accomplished that because of you. My 6 year old wanted the poor people to have warm feet….and he received close to 3000 + socks. I would like to begin by saying thank you to our friend Kenny…who helped me plan all of the food drives and helped my husband for close to 8 hours load and unload the van. I would like to thank Safety swim in Coram “RACHEL” and her staff for not only donating a second van…but making all of the deliveries with us. Rachel LeGrady you are an amazing woman!! Safety swim joined together with all of their locations to donate to this worthy cause. Jill Smith Pryor WE LOVE YOU. You were so inspirational to let the community know about this project.

Another big thank you to her friends Julianna and Sophia ( Donna Vitale who attended every one of her many food drives….who stood out in the cold freezing and never complained, who graciously gave up their gloves for me and my daughter when we stood there in the cold.
