Madonna Heights Ladies Auxiliary Bring Thanksgiving Dinner To Those In Need

(L-R) - Madonna Heights Ladies Auxiliary volunteers coordinate the donation of over 80 Thanksgiving Baskets which include a complete turkey dinner and much needed additional non-perishable items led by Clayton & Abigail Pine of Carle Place, Caroline Mondiello of Farmingdale, Rachel Martines and Sally Pine of Carle Place, Laurie Smith of Huntington, Ann Keenan of Middle Island and Susan Young of Garden City Once again the Madonna Heights Ladies Auxiliary members were hard at work preparing Thanksgiving baskets which not only provided families with a complete turkey dinner (including all the trimmings) but also supplied much needed additional non-perishable items. These baskets went to the families in Madonna Height's various shelters and to the families of those girls in the Residential Treatment Facility and Residential Treatment Center who were able to go home for the holiday. Organized by Ladies Auxiliary member Susan Young and her husband Mark Young, Madonna Heights Services was able to provide over 80 Thanksgiving Baskets to their most in-need families. Along with the wonderful efforts of the Ladies Auxiliary, support also came from the Madonna Heights Staff, Olympus Corporation and various other families and friends of Madonna Heights. Everyone involved truly outdid themselves making this their most successful food drive ever helping so many families in need.
