LAKE GROVE, NY — Raymour and Flanigan Mattress and Furniture store recently presented a $500 donation to the non-profit Gabriel’s Giving Tree, which helps families with funeral expenses after a substance use death.

The check was presented by store manager Dan DeLuca at the Lake Grove store, where the Suffolk County Police Department also conducted a Naloxone (Narcan) training for customers. The SCPD’s Behavioral Health Unit also answered questions.

Suffolk police trained 14 people throughout the day, and each received a free Narcan kit which contained two doses of the life-saving antidote to opioids.

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is considered a major public health crisis in the country, and fentanyl is the number one cause of death for people 18-45 years of age, according to Get Smart About Drugs.
