L.E.B. Electric donates 240 backpacks to school kids

Two hundred and forty Long Island kids are going back to school in style, thanks to a recent donation of brand new backpacks from Amityville-based L.E.B Electric.

The electrical contractor ordered and delivered 48 backpacks to the Copiague Library Back to School Drive, where grade school children will come and gather items for their school supply list with an assigned helper.

An additional 192 backpacks were delivered to Pronto, Long Island, a community outreach center in Bayshore, where over 1,200 students of all ages from across the Island signed up to receive the backpacks donated by L.E.B.

“These kids are our future; I’m happy to help them set off to school on the right foot!” said the president of L.E.B. Electric, William Parker, who expressed pride in being able to give back to the community’s students.
