New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso recently partnered with Island Harvest Food Bank in Melville for their 4th Annual Assembly ‘Assemble Day’. Assemblyman Durso was joined by a bipartisan team of Long Island Assembly members to pack boxes with nutritious food that will be delivered to low-income senior citizens throughout Long Island.
“For the past few years, I have had the privilege of partnering with Island Harvest Food Bank to host Assembly ‘Assemble Day,’ where my colleagues and I get to work filling boxes with food to feed seniors in need,” said Assemblyman Durso. “This year, our event happened to fall on Hunger Action Day, a national day of action held annually during September as part of Hunger Action Month to raise awareness and provide nutritious food to neighbors facing hunger. This is one of the many reasons why I was proud to present Island Harvest with a $50,000 grant to assist with their amazing work. Thank you to my colleagues, all the volunteers, Randi Shubin Dresner, president & CEO of Island Harvest, and the entire Island Harvest team for all you do.”
“Island Harvest Food Bank is incredibly grateful to Assemblyman Michael Durso for hosting the 4th Annual Assembly ‘Assemble Day’ with us,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president & CEO. “Assemblyman Durso brought a bipartisan coalition of the Long Island Assembly delegation together on Hunger Action Day to build meal packages for seniors enrolled in the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. Assemblyman Durso, who created Assembly Assemble Day, is a champion for Island Harvest in Albany and literally rolls up his sleeves to help our neighbors on Long Island facing food insecurity.”
