Thanks to King Kullen, a collection on November 14 was done in front of their Bellmore, NY store. Despite periods of heavy rain and drizzy, with the help of friends, neighbors, family, fellow scouts, scout masters and the support of the shoppers, it was a big success with close to 400 pounds of support items collected as well as gift cards and monetary donations. The support items were delivered to the American Legion Post 1749 of North Bellmore later that night. They in turn, gave the food items to support the Nassau County "Stand Down" food drive program the following day for homeless Vietnam War Veterans. The other non food items were subsequently distributed as well.
