Campisi brothers collecting for City Harvest

Like father, like sons.
Deacon Joseph Campisi has been donating his time and efforts to the poor in Appalachia for years, and his sons, Drs. Joseph and Carmine Campisi, will again be collecting contributions for City Harvest this holiday season.
In his tenth year collecting non-perishable and canned food items for City Harvest, Dr. Joseph Campisi recognizes that contributions are necessary, especially with bad times.
“It [City Harvest] is a very worthwhile cause,” he said.
According to the web site cityharvest.org, “Nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers live in poverty, struggling to afford basic necessities such as rent and medical care while trying to put food on their tables. As more people are affected by the recession and high unemployment in New York City, the need for emergency food has increased dramatically. Each week we help feed more than 260,000 hungry men, women and children.”
And that is exactly why the Campisis got involved – and need your help.
The brothers are asking big-hearted people to drop off food to help those less fortunate.
Simply drop off non-perishable canned or boxed food items to Dr. Joseph Campisi at 133-55 Lefferts Boulevard in South Ozone Park or to Dr. Carmine Campisi at 160-55 Cross Bay Boulevard in Howard Beach. To learn more, call Joseph Campisi’s office at 718-848-6663.
