(HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.) - Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé (D – Freeport) joined with veterans’ advocates, including the leaders of General Needs and Nassau Police Veterans Association, on Friday, April 12 for the Long Island Cares Veterans Resource Fair at their Hauppauge Center for Community Engagement. During the event, Long Island Cares officials said they were able to support nearly 200 veterans with the assistance of 40 vendors who provided food, household care items, cleaning products, blankets, air fryers, kitchen supplies and more.
“Events like the Long Island Cares Veterans Resource Fair are incredibly impactful ‘one-stop shops’ that connect veterans with the resources they need to improve their quality of life, foster connections with other veterans, and secure the care and assistance they deserve after serving their country,” Legislator Mulé said. “I am grateful to everyone who participated and volunteered their time and applaud everyone at Long Island Cares for their leadership.”
