Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick and Green Acres Mall Support Local Families with Backpack Donations

Nassau County, NY - Ahead of the new school year, Senator Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick donated hundreds of backpacks filled with school supplies to support students in need across the community. The effort was made possible through a generous partnership with Green Acres Mall.

Backpacks were distributed to two local organizations: the Jamaica Square Improvement League in Elmont, to support children in the Elmont community, and the New Life Center, which supports families across Nassau County, to help children in need start the school year prepared.

“This time of year can be stressful for families, especially those facing financial challenges,” said Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick. “Every child deserves the tools to succeed in school, and I’m proud to help provide that support. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Green Acres Mall for their incredible partnership. This initiative wouldn’t have been possible without them.”

The initiative reflects Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick’s ongoing commitment to children and families across the 9th Senate District, helping ensure that all students can begin the year on the right foot.
