YES maintains a food pantry stocked with non-perishable items and at times fresh meat and produce. This is made possible through the generosity of donations from community members and local foundations. Our food pantries are available for community members in both our Massapequa and Levittown locations. Contact YES for assistance.

Our Giving Tree, displayed in the front entrance of our Massapequa office, is maintained through donations honoring those who have made a difference in our community and the lives of others. Donors who wish to honor someone with a gift will receive an engraved leaf to be permanently displayed on YES Community Counseling Centers Giving Tree. 

Local individuals and families are encouraged to “adopt” a family in need during the holidays. Through this program, families who are in need of resources are provided with gifts, food, etc.

Leading up to the holiday season, we collect toys, gifts, and food items to create gift baskets for families in the area that are finding it financially difficult to celebrate the holidays.

Thanks to the “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” Foundation, we are able to provide trips for local youth and their families with special family-building and alternative leisure time opportunities. Past outings have included trips to productions of: Snow White, Peter Pan, Major and Minor League Baseball Games, Fishing Trips, Long Island Ducks Games, and more.

Through the Henry Schein Corporation, we partner to provide backpacks filled with school supplies, clothing, and other school-related items to ease the burden of back-to-school spending for families.
