Suffolk County, NY - March 16, 2017 - Family Service League (FSL), a Long Island based non-profit human service organization, is pleased to announce the grant award of $25,000 from The Nature’s Bounty Foundation, a 501c3 that is the charitable arm of The Nature's Bounty Co. The mission of The Nature's Bounty Foundation believes in enhancing lives and giving back to the communities locally and around the world.
This generous grant will support FSL’s Brentwood Community School (BCS) After-School Program where students will be given the opportunity to learn about nutrition through the hands–on experience of preparing healthy meals though cooking classes.
The FSL’s BCS students and their families benefit from the availability of on-site academic enrichment through the arts and a variety of cultural programs. The goal is to increase student’s success in school by adding resources known to make a difference: increased parental involvement in their children’s education, enhanced learning opportunities through educational enrichment, linguistically sensitive programs, consistent adult guidance, and access to health, dental and mental health services.
"Family Service League is proud to be working with The Nature’s Bounty Foundation. Its commitment to the wellness of Long Island students perfectly supports our goal of providing educational based enrichment opportunities that promote health and wellbeing. The children and families who benefit from FSL’s Brentwood Community School program are empowered to mobilize their strengths and improve the quality of their lives at home and in their school environment thanks to this funding.” - Karen Boorshtein, FSL President and CEO
