Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D–Glen Cove) partnered with the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association to host a back-to-school backpack giveaway on Tuesday, Aug. 19, outside Landing Elementary School in Glen Cove. Supported by the Glen Cove PBA, the event provided local students with free backpacks and supplies to help ease the financial burden of preparing for the new school year. Families lined up outside the school, where dozens of children received backpacks filled with notebooks, pencils and other essentials. DeRiggi-Whitton said the giveaway was meant to ensure every child returned to the classroom ready to learn and succeed.
