Nearly 100 volunteers filled backpacks with school supplies at the Schechter School of Long Island in Williston Park on Wednesday for the "Supplies for Success" program. The UJA-Federation of New York — a philanthropic group that raises funds to fight poverty and help the elderly, children and those with disabilities — launched the program in 2002.
