In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service, the Long Island Volunteer Center, an affiliate of Hands On Network and one of ten New York State designated regional volunteer centers, is sponsoring a gently-used sports equipment drive for at-risk children in partnership with Modell's Sporting Goods and Children's Sport Connection. Children's Sport Connection provides financial assistance and sports equipment to children from homes in the midst of a family crisis and believes that children can benefit from being able to say active in organized sports during difficult times.
Contributing to the Corporation for National and Community Service’s strategic objective to increase economic opportunities, this drive will begin on MLK, Jr. Day, Monday, January 16 and continue through Saturday, January 21, 2012. Donations will support SCO Family of Services and other youth programs throughout Long Island. Miss Long Island 2012, Jessica Pinckney will be making an appearance at drop off locations to encourage youth volunteerism.
Here is your chance to make a difference in the lives of children by allowing them to stay active in organized sports during difficult times.
The boys and girls at SCO can use basketballs, soccer balls, footballs, tennis balls, tennis rackets, lacrosse balls, lacrosse sticks.
Donations will be accepted during regular store hours at the following Modell's Sporting Goods locations:
Lake Success – 1510 Union Turnpike

Commack – 5025 Jericho Turnpike
Farmingdale – 206 Airport Plaza
