Needy families on Long Island will receive holiday food baskets from the East Meadow Kiwanis Club. For nearly 30 years, Kiwanis members have collected, assembled and personally delivered the food donations to families in need. Alan Hodish has been involved in the holiday gift basket giveaway for 15 years. He says it?s important to give back to the community. This year Kiwanis members will distribute 93 baskets for Easter and Passover. The East Meadow Club also holds its food basket giveaway during the Thanksgiving, Hanukah and Christmas holidays.
