Citing the many Haitian-American communities located in Long Island, the $3.6 billion Bethpage FCU is collecting high demand items such as water, non-perishable food, baby diapers, wipes, hygiene products, towels, wash clothes and blankets at all 21 of its branches through close of business tomorrow.
Donated items will then be shipped to Haiti by a plane donated by American Airlines in coordination with New York State Senator Brian Foley (D-Blue Point) and Central Islip, N.Y.-headquartered Haitian American United for Change.
For a two-week period, Bethpage will be also accepting monetary donations, which will be donated to the Red Cross. The credit union will make an immediate $10,000 donation to the Red Cross, and will additionally match donations from both members and non-members up to $5,000.
