Food For All

By Gina Machado
On Monday, January 13, the PS/MS114 Student Council, accompanied by their advisors, Mrs. Machado and Mrs. Lehman, took a trip to the Jewish Community Council of the Rockaway Peninsula food pantry. Under the leadership of Naftali Gurwitz, the food pantry director, the students worked as a team to pack and organize more than 130 boxes of food for distribution. Since 1972, the Jewish Community Council of the Rockaway Peninsula (JCCRP) has been providing services on a non-sectarian basis to those in need. We appreciate the service that the JCCRP provides to the community and look forward to helping them again next month.
