ASL Club’s Donation Drive for Local Deaf School
Mill Neck Manor in Mill Neck, NY
October 26, 2021
We need your help!
Mill Neck School For The Deaf, established in 1951, is a deaf school here on Long Island. Each year, they hold their well known Mill Neck Apple Festival to raise money for the school. They sell school merchandise, apples, corn, and an assortment of other fruits, vegetables, and other goods. The event is primarily run by deaf people, but anyone is more than welcome and encouraged to show up. Since COVID, they have not been able to run this festival, which not only hurts the schools funding, but it hurts their publicity and the families who run it. Since the ASL classes began here in Lindenhurst, students have been encouraged to go to the festival to help raise money, practice their signing, and meet deaf people. With COVID still running rampant throughout the island, the festival has not been the same, and Lindenhurst students have asked to help!
