Many thanks to everyone who came together to make our third annual Community Food Drive such a great success. We knew that rising food prices were causing more people to rely on the Long Island Council of Churches Feeding Center to make it through each month. We were afraid, however, that those same rising prices would limit our neighbors' generosity. On Saturday morning, however, the food came pouring in from Malverne, Lynbrook, Valley Stream and elsewhere around southwest Nassau County. When each person selected some cans or boxes of pasta or baby food and put it out on their curb, they joined us in ministry and mission to our community. Together we filled both a mini van and a pick-up truck to capacity with food. Over the summer demand for food rises because kids no longer have access to free lunch. Thanks to everyone who participated, the Feeding Center has a head start on the rush. Thank you.
