Together, We Give Thanks

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday—it's a reminder of gratitude, generosity, and community. At Coldwell Banker American Homes in Ronkonkoma, we're proud to continue our tradition of giving back through our Annual Adopt A Family Food Drive in partnership with Long Island Cares.

Now through November 18, 2025, we're collecting donations to ensure that local families can enjoy a warm, hearty Thanksgiving meal. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings comfort and joy to a family in need right here on Long Island.

Giving Back to Our Community

As part of the Ronkonkoma community, we believe that real connections go beyond business. Supporting Long Island families through this food drive is our way of showing gratitude and unity. Together, we can create meaningful change—one meal, one family, one act of kindness at a time.

We understand that many neighbors face challenges, especially during the holiday season. That's why we've made it simple for anyone to participate. Whether you're donating a single item or a complete Thanksgiving meal, every bit of help makes a difference.

How You Can Help

We invite you to join us in spreading Thanksgiving cheer. You can drop off your donations at Coldwell Banker American Homes, 2395 Ocean Avenue, Ronkonkoma, or reach out directly to schedule a convenient pick-up. Our team will be happy to assist, ensuring your contribution reaches Long Island Cares in time for their Thanksgiving distribution.

The deadline to participate is November 18th at 5:00 PM, giving our volunteers enough time to deliver meals and make a real impact before the holiday.

Accepted Donations Include:

  • Non-perishable canned goods

  • Boxed stuffing and instant potatoes

  • Canned vegetables and cranberry sauce

  • Shelf-stable milk and juice

  • Frozen turkeys (by prior arrangement)

Every donation will be carefully delivered to Long Island Cares, helping local families enjoy a full Thanksgiving feast surrounded by love and hope.

The Heart Behind the Effort

Our Ronkonkoma team has always believed that community is at the heart of everything we do. As a trusted name across Long Island, Coldwell Banker American Homes takes pride in supporting charitable causes that uplift those around us.

Through this food drive, we're not just collecting meals—we're sharing compassion. We're connecting people who care with families who need a helping hand. That's the spirit of Thanksgiving, and it's what drives us to do more each year.

Small Acts, Big Impact

Kindness creates a ripple effect. One generous gesture can inspire another, and together, we can make this Thanksgiving brighter for many. When we all come together for a common cause, the impact goes beyond a single meal—it strengthens the bond that makes our community thrive.

At Coldwell Banker American Homes Ronkonkoma, we see giving as part of who we are. It's not about recognition or reward; it's about showing empathy and making sure everyone has a reason to give thanks.

Join Us in Making a Difference

This season, we invite you to stand with us in support of Long Island Cares. By donating to the Adopt A Family Food Drive, you're helping families enjoy the warmth and tradition of Thanksgiving.

If you'd like to participate, DM us directly or visit our office in Ronkonkoma. Our team will handle the details and ensure your generosity reaches the right hands.

Together, we can bring hope, gratitude, and joy to families across Long Island this Thanksgiving.
