About:
A few members of the Business Honor Society at New Hyde Park Memorial High School used their spring break vacation to help others. On April 23, four students spent the day at the Mary Brennan INN in Hempstead. The students helped prepare and sort food to serve the shelter’s 300 daily visitors and also sorted through clothing and donations.
“It was a wonderful experience,” student Sarah Abraham said. “It felt good knowing that we helped others less fortunate than ourselves.”
