King Quality Proudly Supports Mather Hospital

$10,000 donation will support Port Jefferson-based non-profit 248-bed hospital

Helping the Long Island community is a core value at King Quality. Everyone on our team is community-minded and committed to assisting others and there’s nothing we enjoy more than paying kindness forward through philanthropic activities.

PAYING KINDNESS FORWARD

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, or follow King Quality on social media, you’re likely aware of some of these activities, which include continuing support for wonderful life-changing community organizations such as Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson. Hope House is an extraordinary organization that, since 1980, has provided compassionate crisis intervention for young men aged 16 to 21. Today, Hope House has expanded to a multi-faceted human service agency encompassing housing, counseling and educational assistance for individuals and families in crisis. At Hope House’s recent 15th Annual Endowment Fund Event, King Quality’s CEO Jeff Brett was honored, which makes us all very proud.

Another worthy local organization we support is Lighthouse Mission in Bellport, whose main commitment is to feed the poor with the larger goal being to empower people to overcome poverty and live purpose-filled lives. Last year, King Quality donated 75 turkeys to Lighthouse’s seasonal food drives and will continue supporting it this year. Lighthouse Mission is always in need of donations and volunteers, so please give or volunteer if you’re able.

We also try to help good people here on Long Island on an individualized basis – especially those who help other people. You may have seen the story on CBS 2 New York and other news outlets about King Quality’s key role in arranging the donation of a roof to a wonderful retired nurse named Sandra Jenkins, of Roosevelt. While our focus is to run a roofing, siding, and windows business with satisfied customers, we fervently believe that good actions are their own reward, so we try to help whenever we can, however we can.

SUPPORTING NON-PROFIT HEALTH CARE ON LONG ISLAND

Today King Quality is proud to announce that we are a lead charity sponsor for Mather Hospital and the JTM Health Facilities Foundation. Mather Hospital is an accredited 248-bed, non-profit community teaching hospital located in Port Jefferson. Its pledge is to provide “the highest quality clinical care, educating the current and future generations of health care professionals, promoting health education, and caring for the community regardless of the ability to pay.”

Mather has been serving the Long Island community since 1929 and has twice earned the prestigious Magnet® recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), which recognizes healthcare organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. Additionally, Mather has received 15 “A” ratings for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group.

King Quality’s Jeff Brett has some personal experience with Mather. In 1991, he suffered a bout of meningitis and was treated successfully at the hospital. He greatly appreciates Mather’s important role in raising the health of Long Islanders and has supported the hospital for the past three years, also serving as a member of the Mather Golf Classic Committee. With this new $10,000 donation, King Quality will be a lead sponsor of several important activities conducted by Mather, including the 2021 Mather Golf Classic, which will be held on October 7, 2021; Mather’s One Enchanted Evening Gala, which will occur on November 5, 2021; and the 2021 Paint Port Pink Community Outreach, which will promote the importance of screening, early detection, and education for breast cancer in Long Island communities throughout October of this year. Breast cancer prevention and treatment is an important cause for Jeff, as his sister who is a King Quality employee, is a breast cancer survivor.

We encourage all who read this blog to consider joining King Quality in helping Mather Hospital, as well as the other named organizations to help our Long Island neighbors lead healthier, happier lives.
