October 24th, 2024 – Members of Islip Food for Hope, Good Samaritan University Hospital, South Shore University Hospital, local Chambers of Commerce, business owners and Town of Islip employees came together this week for the Islip Town Supervisor's Annual Thanksgiving Breakfast benefiting Islip Food for Hope. The event is hosted by Islip Town Supervisor, Angie Carpenter, who was joined by members of the Islip Town Board, Town of Islip Commissioners and Deputies, and Suffolk County Executive, Edward Romaine.

The annual event fundraises for the purchase of turkeys and all the trimmings to create a traditional Thanksgiving holiday meal for those in need. This year's goal is to raise enough money to pack 1,000 "Boxes of Love" for families within the Town of Islip.
