Hauppauge's Astoria Federal Savings Leading School Supply Drive

Bring donations to the location at 845 Wheeler Rd.

Help a child in need this month get prepared for class by participating in a school supply drive at Hauppauge's Astoria Federal Savings' 14th annual Kids Tools for School collection drive.

The drive takes place throughout August to help prepare children for the start of the new school year. The program provides local students whose families struggle to afford school supplies with the much-needed educational tools to excel and perform well in the classroom.

Hauppauge residents are invited to participate by bringing their donations of new school supplies or cash to purchase supplies to any one of Astoria Federal Savings’ branches including 845 Wheeler Rd.
