Century 21 Prevete INVITES THE PUBLIC TO HELP FIGHT HUNGER

Century 21 Prevete is joining the Long Island Board of Realtors^® (LIBOR) initiative, Realtors Against Hunger, to fight hunger in our local communities. Realtors Against Hunger (RAH) will be collecting donations of non perishable food items from August 22nd - September 30th. During that time period, the public is encouraged to drop off canned and dry food donations at Century 21 Prevete, 70 Manetto Hill Mall between the hours of 9am to 5pm. This collection drive will support efforts to provide food to hundreds of local food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other programs that feed the hungry. LIBOR is working with several strategic partners to ensure proper distribution of food to outlets in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Counties. "With more than 300,000 children and adults facing hunger or potential malnutrition in the region the Long Island Board of Realtors must respond to the needs of our communities, especially in these difficult times," said Buddy Hoosein, LIBOR President.

Realtors Against Hunger (RAH) is part of the Long Island Board of Realtor's "We're More Than Realtors" initiative that supports numerous programs and charitable community organizations. A kick-off celebration for the campaign was recently hosted at Citibank Park in Islip at the start of the Long Island Ducks baseball game.

Food donations can be brought to Realtor Service Centers in Jackson Heights, West Babylon, Riverhead and Woodbury as well as local Realtor offices such as Century 21 Prevete. "We cannot stand by and watch our communities struggle. The impact of the economy and the escalating cost of fuel and other challenges is negatively impacting families throughout Long Island. Many families must now choose between paying for a tank of gas to get to work or feeding their family. We will work diligently to help our communities by filling these pantries and making an impact in the fight against hunger here on Long Island," explained John Ammirati, Manager, Century 21 Prevete.
