Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart joined officers from Suffolk County Police Department fraternal organizations and other law enforcement agencies on Sunday, March 29, to deliver plenty of goodies to medical and military personnel and others working at the COVID-19 testing site in Stony Brook.

Those helping included members of the department's Asian Jade Society and Sixth Precinct Cops Who Care joined the NYPD Indian Officers’ Society and American Malayalee Law Enforcement to provide lunch, coffee, and goodie bags.

"We cannot thank our first responders, healthcare workers, and countless others on the front lines enough for putting their health and safety at risk to protect us," Bellone said. "No matter how big or small the gesture, it is incredible to see our communities step up and do what they can to support our heroes."

Food for the event was donated by Dunkin’ Donuts, in Stony Brook, Pasha Kebob and Grill, in Lindenhurst, and Capellini Trattoria Pizzeria, in Selden.

"The Feed Our Heroes event was an opportunity for us to express gratitude to the people who are working hard at the state’s testing sites,” Hart said. “I thank the off-duty officers who participated in the event and the businesses that donated food to ensure workers had a well-deserved meal.”
