Federation of Organizations’ Foster Grandparent volunteers work tirelessly to assist children with special needs throughout Suffolk County. The program recently commemorated back to school by distributing back packs and school supplies to children at Park Avenue School in Amityville. Federation, in conjunction with the Nassau Suffolk Coalition for the Homeless was able to obtain back packs for 50 children! Legislator DuWayne Gregory was present to show his support and commend the Foster Grandparents on their good work on behalf of the children in Suffolk County.
