The food drive was one of several held across Long Island for those who are out of work and struggling to make ends meet during the COVID-19 crisis.
“We are now dealing with the economic ramifications,” says Nassau County Executive Laura Curran.
Each family was given boxes of food that should last one week. It's full of fresh meat, fresh vegetables, dairy and canned goods.

"Everyone is a different piece of the puzzle and we all come together,” said one volunteer. “That's why we are Long Island."
