As we honor the courage and sacrifice of our veterans this Veteran’s Day, Lifestyles Sports is teaming up with the Wantagh Chamber of Commerce to host an essential items drive to support our local heroes. Your donations can make a profound impact on veterans who may be struggling with daily needs, ensuring they receive the care and recognition they deserve.
Why Donations Are Needed
Our veterans have given so much for our country, but many continue to face challenges after returning home. From finding secure housing to maintaining their health, many veterans face uphill battles. By contributing to our drive, you can help us provide essentials that make a real difference, showing our veterans that their community values and supports them.
What to Donate
We’re looking for a variety of items to address both immediate needs and comfort. Here’s a list of the most needed donations:
- Non-Perishable Food Items
Essential foods are always appreciated, as they help veterans maintain balanced meals. Suggested donations include:- Canned soups, beans, and vegetables
- Rice and pasta
- Macaroni & cheese
- Personal Care Essentials
These items help veterans maintain dignity and self-care. Consider donating:- Body wash, toothpaste, and toothbrushes
- Razors and nail clippers
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Clothing for Men and Women
Simple, comfortable clothing is invaluable, particularly for veterans with limited resources. Items needed include:- Socks, T-shirts, and sweatpants in various sizes
Every donation, no matter how big or small, is a gesture of gratitude and respect for those who have served.

You can bring donations directly to our store at Lifestyles Sports on 1901 Wantagh Avenue in Wantagh, New York during business hours. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 516-781-8070. Every item collected will be delivered to local veterans with the support of the Wantagh Chamber of Commerce.
