The Afya Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Yonkers, NY, that plays a vital role in the global medical supply chain. They deliver critical medical supplies, such as sutures, bandages, and surgical instruments, to underserved or compromised health systems around the world, diverting these supplies from landfills and giving them a second life. With their customized shipments, Afya has made a significant impact on healthcare, enabling millions of people to receive the care they need. Afya's work not only improves health outcomes but also strengthens communities and protects the environment. They have collected over 11.6 million pounds of usable medical and humanitarian supplies that would have otherwise ended up in landfills. Through their volunteer program, which includes local schools, religious groups, and community organizations, Afya ensures that these life-saving supplies reach medical professionals on the frontline, making a difference in the lives of those in need.Generated from the website

The Peconic Land Trust Inc, located in Southampton, NY, is dedicated to conserving Long Island's working farms, lands, and heritage for its communities today and in the future. Acknowledging the region's rich Indigenous history, the Trust honors those who have stewarded the land for over 10,000 years while accepting the responsibility to protect their cultural and traditional connections to it. The organization raises its operating budget through charitable gifts and services, rather than collecting or distributing funds from the 2% real estate transfer tax paid by buyers through the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund, which directly benefits the respective towns. With a commitment to environmental conservation, the Peconic Land Trust plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the natural and cultural resources of the area. Generated from the website
