Drive Hunger Off Long Island
June 8, 2010
(Mineola, N.Y.)—Pack the kids in the Bel Air and rev your engines to help drive hunger off Long Island as the East to West Classic Car Club and Professors Diner of Kings Park will be hosting a food drive to benefit Island Harvest, Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization. The event will take place on Thursday, June 24, 2010 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Kings Park Shopping Center, Indian Head Road in Kings Park.
Take a trip down the American road as scores of remarkably restored vintage cars from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s will be proudly displayed for your viewing pleasure. At the same time you can help fight the critical problem of hunger which now affects 285,000 Long Islanders, including 110,000 children who face the risk of going hungry each day.
Classic car owners, enthusiasts and their fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items and/or canned goods to the event to help Island Harvest in its mission of ending hunger on Long Island.
