Assemblyman Lavine assists Glen Cove High School pantry

New York State Assemblyman Charles D. Lavine, a Democrat from Glen Cove, has dedicated much of his time during the pandemic to giving back.

One of the biggest problems many families in Nassau County are currently facing is a food shortage. Glen Cove is among the areas that have been hit hard by Covid-19 and Lavine has been working to help. He recently donated seven bags of food to Glen Cove High School’s food pantry.

“The Glen Cove High School is a pillar in our community,” Lavine said, “and they have always taken action when it comes to giving back to our community.”

GCHS has been providing meals to families in need throughout the community since the pandemic started. Lavine has had a long-standing relationship with GCHS, partnering with the school on many events and even creating lines of communication between the high school and other organizations.

Most recently Lavine was able to connect Long Island Cares, a large food pantry organization, with GCHS. This partnership will allow for over 80 families to be served through Long Island Cares.
