(FREEPORT, MERRICK and NORTH MERRICK, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Seth I. Koslow (D – Merrick) is thanking his partners at the Freeport, Merrick and North Merrick Public Libraries and their patrons for their generous support of his office’s inaugural back-to-school supply drive. Concluding on Aug. 20, the effort yielded donations of more than 50 supply-filled backpacks as well as an array of additional supplies. Proceeds were then donated to back-to-school giveaway events hosted by the Freeport High School PTSA, TRIMZ Barber Shop, Perfecting Faith Church in Freeport and the Freeport Lions Club.
“When you are struggling to make ends meet, back-to-school season can place tremendous strain upon a household’s budget. However, thanks to the generosity of Fifth District residents, this burden will be eased for dozens of deserving families in our community,” Legislator Koslow said. “We are all so thankful to our partners at the Freeport, Merrick and North Merrick Libraries and all of their patrons who stepped up to help ensure every young person starts the new school year with the tools they need to excel.”
