Assemb. Graf Seeking Donations For Easter Basket Drive

Assemblyman Al Graf, R-Holbrook, is conducting his second annual Easter Basket drive for local children in need.

The assemblyman is encouraging local residents to donate baskets, bags of candy, chocolate Easter bunnies and more practical, life necessities that will be distributed to children who may otherwise not enjoy this special holiday.

“With the economic downturn that has plagued New York in recent years, more and more families on Long Island are struggling just to make ends meet,” Graf said. “Many families are forced to choose between celebrating Easter and putting food on the table, paying their utilities, or keeping up with their mortgage. No child should go without a visit from the Easter Bunny.

I am asking families and businesses that can afford to make a donation to stop by my district office with Easter baskets, candy or household items that they can spare. Donations we receive will help make a local child’s Easter dream come true.”

Items are being accepted at Graf’s district office from now until Wednesday, April 4. If you would like to participate, need someone to pick up a donation, or have questions, call, e-mail or stop by the district office.
