She started out doing it alone and once she became a legal 501c3 she quickly grew from supporting 40 families to over 1600. She is joined by an amazing group of women who dedicate their time every week to better the community.Samantha shares her story with us and explains how her tough upbringing helped shape her values and ultimately to the formation of Branches Long Island. Please consider supporting Branches Long Island by visiting:Branches Long Island588 Middle Country Road, Middle Island, New York 11953(631) 448-7832www.BranchesLongIsland.comhttps://instagram.com/brancheslongislandhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/BranchesLongIslandGroup- -THANK YOU for listening!Send us feedback by emailing: [email protected] the showPlease like, follow, and support The Modern Latino:Email:[email protected]:https://themodernlatino.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themodernlatinopodcast/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheModernLatinoPodcastX (Twitter):https://twitter.com/ModernLatinoPodLove the show?
