The Little Saint Nick Foundation (LSNF) is proud to announce the completion of a major community initiative made possible by a generous partnership with Four Leaf Federal Credit Union. Through a $10,000 grant, Four Leaf funded and helped pack 1,000 St. Nick Gift Bags that were delivered to pediatric patients and their families across Long Island.

The initiative brought together volunteers from multiple Four Leaf branches, including Riverview, Melville, Bethpage, Bay Shore, Hempstead, Farmingdale, and Centereach. Team members not only funded the effort but also rolled up their sleeves to personally assemble the bags—each filled with items designed to reduce anxiety and spread joy to children facing medical challenges.

Every St. Nick Gift Bag contained:

• A cozy stuffed animal

• A pop-it toy for stress relief

• A coloring book and pack of crayons for creative distraction

• A handmade Inspiration Card crafted by Four Leaf volunteers with encouraging messages

“Volunteering today was impactful and therapeutic,” said Megan from Four Leaf’s Bethpage branch. “What they do here is so amazing, and to know that what we are doing is going to bring a smile to a child’s face who needs it is so impactful.”

“We are so grateful to Four Leaf Federal Credit Union for their incredible generosity and hands-on support,” said Bradley Cooper, Northeast Executive Director of the Little Saint Nick Foundation. “Thanks to their $10,000 grant and the dedication of their employees, 1,000 children across Long Island will experience a little more comfort and joy during difficult times. Partnerships like this embody the spirit of ‘Kids Inspiring and Helping Kids™’ and help us scale our impact locally.”

Four Leaf’s commitment marks one of the largest single volunteer-driven gift bag initiatives for Long Island patients in 2025 and highlights the importance of corporate-community collaboration in creating meaningful change.
