Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) recently thanked Venture Scout Crew 577 of North Bellmore for participating in his veterans food drive. 

            As part of the drive, the scouts collected 23 shopping bags filled with food. Everything collected by the scouts will be donated to Long Island Cares for use in their veterans outreach program, which provides support for veterans & active duty military personnel and their families. 

            “The scouts should be very proud of the amazing job they did. Their hard work will go a long way towards helping veterans in need and making a real difference in the lives of others,” said Senator Fuschillo.
