The Brentwood Islanders Lions Club successfully collected food donations at the Bay Shore ShopRite, providing much-needed support to students facing food insecurity. All contributions were delivered to the Suffolk County Community College Michael J. Grant Campus food pantry in Brentwood.
Leading this vital initiative was Belinda Pagdanganan, a member of the College Board of Trustees and the College Foundation Board of Directors. Her commitment to addressing food insecurity among college students highlights the pressing issue that many students face, which can negatively affect academic performance and overall well-being.
The food pantry at Suffolk County Community College plays a crucial role in supporting students who may struggle to afford basic necessities. This weekend’s drive significantly contributes to alleviating food insecurity on campus.
