Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and State Assemblyman Michael Durso today announced “Back to School Supply Drive-Thru” collection initiative to help disadvantaged students be prepared and fully equipped with the learning tools necessary to succeed in the 2024-25 school year. The collection drive-thru event will take place on Saturday, August 24th, at Marjorie Post Community Park from 10am to 12pm.

“Supporting this school supply drive helps bridge the gap for disadvantaged students, allowing them to focus on their studies rather than worrying about acquiring basic materials,” said Assemblyman Durso.
