On Friday, October 9th, Babylon Rotary members came together to support the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church Food Pantry in Farmingdale!

Our food pantry shopping initiative provided 579 essential food items to help stock the pantry shelves, including pancake mix, canned pasta meals, mac & cheese, canned chicken breast, and sweet peas. πŸ›’πŸ₯«

Patty Vorillas welcomed us, and with the help of Elaine Rios, we delivered the items and filled the pantry’s empty shelves. Rev. Fr. Elias Pappas expressed his gratitude for Babylon Rotary’s donation.

This pantry serves more than 400 families twice a month, providing food and essential items to anyone in need.
