“I want to thank Island Harvest, their incredible staff, and all of our Long Island assembly members who took part today in Assembly Assemble Day.It was great to see so many people come together for a common cause and do our small part to help fight food insecurity here on Long Island,” said Assemblyman Durso.“Over the past 24 months food insecurity has skyrocketed due to the pandemic; affecting people of all political backgrounds, religions, and races.By working together to fight hunger we are making a difference for a neighbor, family member, friend, or a coworker who needs to put food on their table.I want to especially thank Island Harvest President & CEO Randi Shubin Dresner for her tireless efforts and dedication to ending hunger on Long Island.”

“We are grateful to Assemblyman Durso and the members of Long Island’s Assembly delegation for taking the time out of their busy schedules to lend a hand at our warehouse today,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, President & CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “Hunger knows no barriers when it comes to partisan politics, and working side-by-side, we can truly make a difference in addressing some of society’s most pressing issues, including hunger and poverty in our local communities.”
