New Socks for Homeless Veterans Farmingdale Event

Supporting Long Island Veterans in Need This Winter

Our local community gathers this November to support Long Island veterans facing homelessness. The Billy Mac Foundation hosts a special charity fundraiser at Daytona's in Farmingdale. The event takes place on Sunday, November 22, 2026. Festivities run from 3:00 PM into the evening. November marks Military Family Month across our nation. This gathering provides a direct way to honor those who served our country. Our Massapequa Park team is proud to support this vital community effort.

Mission of The Billy Mac Foundation

The Billy Mac Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Their mission centers on assisting homeless veterans across Long Island communities. Clean socks represent the most requested yet least donated clothing item at shelters. The foundation collects and distributes brand-new socks to veterans experiencing housing instability. They also provide essential personal hygiene supplies to shelters and outreach centers. These care packages include deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and grooming supplies. These daily items help veterans maintain personal dignity and health as colder weather arrives.

Afternoon Highlights, Raffles & Entertainment

Guests will enjoy an energetic afternoon filled with charity entertainment at Daytona's. The charity drive features exciting drawings and community activities throughout the afternoon.

Sports Memorabilia & Gift Basket Raffles

Attendees can enter multiple raffle drawings for premium gift baskets. Two featured baskets include authentic signed New York Islanders and Rangers memorabilia. Local sports fans can bid on genuine hockey collector items to support the cause.

50/50 Charity Drawing

The event will feature a high-stakes 50/50 charity cash raffle. Half of the drawing proceeds go directly to fund supplies for local veterans. The remaining portion rewards one lucky winning ticket holder.

Dining, Music & Community Networking

Daytona's kitchen will serve delicious food and refreshing drinks to guests. Live music and dancing will create a celebratory atmosphere for attendees. The afternoon provides a welcoming space to network with dedicated neighbors and organizers.

Why Your Support Matters This Winter

Winter on Long Island brings freezing temperatures and challenging conditions for unhoused veterans. Proper footwear and clean socks prevent severe foot injuries and cold-weather infections. Hygiene products protect general physical health and build personal confidence. Every dollar raised helps purchase warm items before severe frost sets in. Attending this fundraiser directly funds vital deliveries to local veterans shelters.
