The Mineola community came together on April 4 for the annual “mINNeola Macaroni” fundraiser, an evening of food and friends that benefits Long Islanders in need.
This year’s event raised $2,720 for the Mary Brennan Inn, a not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization that provides essential services to assist those challenged by hunger, homelessness and poverty on Long Island.
Mineola High School students served up a variety of pasta dishes, along with salad, beverages and desserts, all which were provided by Uncle Bacala’s Restaurant in Garden City Park. Guests included Mineola administration, faculty and students, as well as senior citizens from the community.
“mINNeola Macaroni” is an annual fundraising event organized by Mineola High School’s Student Service Center, which provides students the opportunity to volunteer and provide community support during and after school.
