A big thank you to the students of Stony Brook Student Council!

Two weeks ago, they partnered with our Grocery Coordinator, Mona Patel, to collect donations for the pantry. It was wonderful to see the shelves fill up and to witness the students' enthusiasm for helping others and supporting their community. We are so grateful for their generosity and hard work!
