Syosset
Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) proudly recognized Jake Breecker, Max Schoenberg, Luke Breecker, and Brett Schoenberg for creating the “Giving Garden.” Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) recently recognized Jake Breecker, age 17; Max Schoenberg, age 16; Luke Breecker, age 15; and Brett Schoenberg, age 12 on Saturday, May 3 for spearheading their “Giving Garden” initiative in Syosset. The endeavor was birthed of a commitment to fighting hunger
in the community – having previously hosted numerous food drives in recent years, the four teens are building upon these efforts by planting these gardens and donating the fresh produce to Island Harvest. “Food insecurity is a crisis that touches every community in our County – and the energy and passion from young leaders in our community will make
a tremendous positive impact,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “Jake, Max, Luke and Brett’s dedication to fighting hunger is truly commendable, and I was proud to witness their efforts and recognize their outstanding work and deep and commitment to such an important cause.”
