$40,000 in Donations Granted to Local Food Pantries

The DeLong Co., Inc. is excited to announce contributions totaling $40,000 to 30 local food pantries and community organizations this holiday season. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to support our neighbors, especially during the winter months when food insecurity can be at its peak.

We recognize the vital role that food security plays in the well-being of families and communities.
