  Island Harvest Food Blitz Campaign
  On Saturday, August 29 over 400 first year students in the Undergraduate College of Leadership and Service (LDS) participated in the Island Harvest Food Blitz Campaign. Island Harvest is a Long Island nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide nutritious and balanced meals for children in all communities. During the Island Harvest Food Blitz Campaign, LDS students were to package nonperishable food items for 1,300 underprivileged students in schools all across Long Island. We are proud to announce that in a few short hours LDS students packaged 2465 meals for students on Long Island! The LDS team would like to thank all of the LDS students who participated in the event and who donated school supplies to underprivileged students.
