THIS EVENT IS CURRENTLY A WORK IN PROGRESS AND HOPEFULLY COMING SOON!
While it is not official yet, Teddies For Happiness is actively working on and planning a new event. This new event is the Long Island Fire and EMS Touch-A-Truck Food Drive. Landan, the founder of Teddies For Happiness has been wanting to create and host a Fire/EMS version of the Law Enforcement Charity Touch-A-Truck Event. The event if approved and comes to fruition will take place at the beginning of Summer. The charity drive for this event will be a food drive; collecting non-perishable foods for local food pantries. This event is to help feed the local community in need. With the summer season, kids are out of school and not getting free meals if they rely on them, so this event is important as many more people will be hungry over the summer. As the summer gets hot, come cool down with Firefighters and EMS personnel as they open their vehicles and have displays and demonstrations to show you, your families, and friends how to be educated on fire and health safety while also having fun and helping those in need of food.
At this event, you will most likely see different types of vehicles from Fire Department's, Fire Marshal Offices, EMS Services, and Police Departments.
