Annual "Have a Heart for the Homeless" Candlelight Vigil
The Nassau-Suffolk Coalition for the Homeless held its annual "Have a Heart for the Homeless" Candlelight Vigil on Thursday, February 12, 2009 at Farmingdale State College. Nearly 2,000 volunteers, consumers, government representatives and members of faith-based organizations, non-profit organizations, and school and community groups made this year's Vigil a tremendous success! Live musical entertainment was provided by Deirdre Lebrecht, children of all ages were treated to face painting, and free haircuts were provided by talented hairstylists from ID Salon. WWF/WWE Wrestling Champion Mick "Mankind" Foley also made a guest appearance! Donations of unused baby items, diapers and formula, along with toiletries, non-perishable foods, clothing and blankets were accepted and distributed at the event. NSCH would like to thank everyone who participated in event for their support and contributions to ending homelessness on Long Island!
