Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Massapequa Park) is pleased to announce that over 2,000 pounds of food were collected at his food drive in Babylon Village on Saturday, February 27, 2021 to benefit Long Island residents in need.
“During this challenging time, we must ensure that everyone has the food they need. Maintaining our food supply and ensuring that people have enough to eat – especially our most vulnerable populations – is a responsibility we share as a community,” said Durso. “The 2,000 plus pounds of food collected, will provide over 1,800 meals to Long Islanders needing food assistance. Thank you to all who donated, and thank you to Island Harvest, the elected officials, community leaders and youth organizations, whose contributions made the event a huge success.”
