Assemblyman Dave McDonough (R,C,I- Merrick) recently welcomed Girl Scouts from Troop 3313 of the Mandalay Elementary School to his Merrick office. The Girl Scouts and their Troop Leader dropped off several boxes of Girl Scout cookies for McDonough’s food drive. McDonough’s food drive, ongoing since 2008, has collected over 2 tons of food, which is directly distributed to local food pantries.

“I am thrilled with the Girl Scouts from Troop 3313 and their generous donation to the food drive,” said McDonough. “Their donation is just one example of the many stories of local residents helping those in need in their community. I cannot stress enough the need of donations year round, but the summer months are especially important.” For more information on the food drive or to discuss legislative conserns, contact Assemblyman McDonough at (516) 409-2070.
