Banking on helping the food pantry

Four TD Bank locations, including three in the Five Towns, will be collecting money for the Rina Shkolnik Kosher Food Pantry on Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. through the bank’s Bring Change program. In addition, TD Bank will be making a contribution.

The locations are: 1 Veterans Memorial Plaza in Hewlett; 516 East Central Ave. in
Cedarhurst; 490 Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence and 275 West Merrick Road in Valley Stream.

Based in Woodmere, the food pantry is a joint initiative of the Jewish Community Center of the Greater Five Towns and UJA-Federation of New York, and is supported by the South Shore Community Chest and the Inwood Charities Fund.

“The Marion and Aaron Gural JCC is pleased to be partnering with TD Bank to help those residents of our community who struggle each day to overcome the challenges of hunger and poverty,” said Gural JCC Executive Director Joel Block. “Our communal goal is that no one should go to sleep at night without food or shelter, and we thank TD Bank for their support.”
