Floral Park Memorial High School’s student council assisted those in need during the holiday season by hosting a food drive for Island Harvest from Nov. 18 to Dec. 12.
Due to the generosity of students and staff, 2,450 pounds of non-perishable food items will be delivered to local food banks and shelters to support 2,041 meals for individuals and families facing food insecurity on Long Island.
Along with the food drive, the Student Council hosted an Ugly Sweater Day fundraiser, raising $500 for Island Harvest. This donation enabled the organization to support an additional 1,000 meals.
The student council is led by President Umamah Shahbaz and adviser Christina Dierlam.
