The mission of Hicksville Gardens Civic Association (HGCA) aims to improve the quality of life for the Hicksville community by encouraging community awareness, participation, and civic pride.
Thanksgiving is a time when we remember those in our community who are not as fortunate as we are in celebrating a family meal together on Thanksgiving Day. Through Lee Avenue School, we were able to help donate a Thanksgiving meal for three families and fill their cupboards for the Holiday Season. The Community Service committee would like to thank our members for their enormous generosity to our Thanksgiving Food Drive. It was a huge success, enabling us to donate to a third family this year.
A special thank you to Foodtown for donating gift certificates for the purchase of a turkey for each family and to T Mobile for donating 2 cases of cereal. A thank you to Mrs. Stam and Mrs. Kravitz for making us part of this successful food drive.
