“We have always had a vested interest in the health and welfare of our community and the people in it,” said Joe Tedesco, President & CEO of OFFCU. “This is our 8th year completing our food drive and it gets better every year. It is so important that we help those who are less fortunate or who maybe have fallen on hard times. By lifting up those who need it, we elevate everyone.”
As part of the drive, OFFCU accepted non-perishable food, household and personal care items. These items included, baby food, shelf stable milk, canned goods, sponges, garbage bags, baby products, paper products as well as other items such as blankets and clothing.
“We are so grateful to Ocean Financial for their continued support of our parish,” said Mary Rose O’Hara, Outreach Coordinator at St. Vincent de Paul Parish. “Food insecurity in New York is on the rise and families are in need of our services more than ever.
