Commitment to Community
Each year Green Acres supports many local non-profit organizations in our community in a variety of ways. Either through financial contributions and grants, sponsorships or partnerships Green Acres believes in being a "good corporate citizen".
Community Partnerships
Green Acres is more than “Being the Place to Be;” we also support many local non-profit organizations with grants, sponsorships and raffle prizes for their fundraisers. Green Acres partners with local organizations to bring interesting and fun events to the center. Some of these partnerships include: Peninsula Counseling Center, Gateway Youth Outreach Program, Girl Scouts of Nassau County, Nassau County Explorers Program and Boy Scouts of America.
Blood Drives
Throughout the year Green Acres is the site for blood donation for the Long Island Blood Services, New York Hospital and American Red Cross. Over the years Green Acres customers have donated over a thousand pints of blood to help their neighbors.
Nassau County, New York Crime Stoppers App
The official app of Nassau County New York Crime Stoppers enables members of the community to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming two key elements that inhibit community involvement: fear and apathy. Tipsters can remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a reward if the information given leads to an arrest.
Crime Stoppers relies on cooperation between the police, the media, and the general community to provide a flow of information about crime and criminals.
Free in the app store, the new Nassau County Mobile Crime Stopper Application is available for Android, iOS, Windows platform, and most smart phones from the last two years. Citizens can download the application to their smart phone and/or tablet by entering Nassau County, Nassau Police, and/or NY Crime Stoppers. From the application, residents report crime tips via text message.
The App includes:
- Submit a Tip
- Wanted suspects
- Crime of the Week
- Unsolved Crimes
- Bank Crimes
These are just a few ways Green Acres partners with local organizations. Watch the Events Page for upcoming events that might be of interest to you and your family.
