Earlier this month, 13 AARP members and volunteers helped collect more than 1,000 pounds in food donations for Nassau County veterans service agency VetMart. Volunteers stood outside the entrance to the Carl Place Stop&Shop and encouraged patrons to pick up a few extra items for the food drive while they did their usual shopping. The outpouring of generosity and compassion from the community was incredible - Donations came in by the bagful! Some shoppers handed over more in donations than they’d bought for themselves, while others ran back into the store for a second round of shopping once they realized there was a food drive.
AARP is PRIDE. That is why we will be marching in this year’s New York City Pride March in Governor Cuomo’s contingent. The March will take place this year on Sunday June 25th. If you are interested in marching with us, register here.

The AARP Oyster Bay volunteer team held a food drive earlier this year to benefit St. Kilian Parish Social Ministry. The St. Kilian food pantry provides food and basic needs to hundreds of people each month. We thank the pantry for allowing us to stock the pantry on a Saturday when they are usually closed. This enabled us to collect the donations on a busier shopping day and for more hours. “Wow, wow, wow!” said Nina Petersen, St. Kilian Outreach Director, after seeing all the donations we collected.
