Ed Technology Specialists is proud to be able to support communities around schools by donating a portion of gross revenue to the following causes:
Agape Meals for Kids directly addresses childhood hunger and food insecurity faced by children on Long Island. We provide kid-friendly food packs to children identified at risk for hunger.
We provide food insecure children with easy meals for times when they don’t receive school meals, such as weekends and holidays.
Every week, volunteers assemble ‘weekend bags’ consisting of 7 meals. On Friday mornings we deliver these to schools with high rates of food insecure children. At the end of the day, each at-risk student receives a bag before going home.
The Jimmy Fund solely supports Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, raising funds for adult and pediatric cancer care and research to improve the chances of survival for cancer patients around the world. Since its founding in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of community fundraising events.
The story of the Jimmy Fund is one of grassroots involvement — of thousands of people organizing bake sales, lemonade stands, runs, walks, golf tournaments, dances, and softball games to raise money for cancer research and care. Ed Technology Specialists is proud to support this effort.
Tender Loving Cats, Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit 501(c)(3), no-kill feline rescue, concentrating on reducing Long Island’s community cat population through Trap-Neuter-Return and the rehabilitation of homeless cats and kittens for adoption. Tender Loving Cats, Inc. rescues the mistreated, saves the injured and loves the abandoned.
All cats and kittens adopted from Tender Loving Cats, Inc. are spayed/neutered prior to adoption as a part of our mission to reduce the numbers of homeless cats and kittens on Long Island.
Island Harvest has become Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization. It’s volunteers and staff deliver millions of pounds of good, surplus food – much of which might otherwise go to waste – to a network of 570 Long Island-based food pantries, soup kitchens and other non-profit organization that offer feeding services for those in need.
By doing this, they provide a vital supply of food to counter the sharply rising problem of hunger here. In recent years, they have begun to attack hunger in targeted and strategic ways. The most visible example of this is the Weekend Backpack Feeding Program. Piloted in 2006, this initiative provides 35,000+ packs of nutritious food to schoolchildren who rely on school lunches and breakfasts and may not receive solid meals on weekends.
