""Nassau County Strong,” showcases a portrait of Joshua Lafazan, who is the Nassau County Legislator of the 18th district. Legislator Lafazan has been a strident supporter of LILAC’s work since our inception, and we are so incredibly grateful for all that he has done to help us mobilize our communities and work toward making a positive impact and instilling hope in all those affected by the pandemic!

We are thankful for his office’s support and attention, and looking forward to continuing our work with them in whatever capacity we can to further LILAC’s mission of serving those who have the highest need during this crisis.
