Now is its third year, the LIVC is sponsoring a Back-to-School donation drive in partnership with the New York State Department of Education's Office of Adult Career and Continuing Education Services-Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) to be held July 15, 2025. The backpack kit building event will benefit families served by The INN and New Ground. The service project reinforces training on Volunteering as a Pathway to Employment by LIVC for ACCES-VR students who are participating in a summer youth employment program created to enhance job skills development. We are encouraging use of the Amazon Wish List to order school supplies to be delivered to ACCES-VR offices in Garden City.
