Jones Beach, NY—On June 19th, Legislator Michael Giangregorio joined with Senator Steve Rhoades and Girl Scout Troop 3305 of Wantagh to honor Girl Scout Faith Elizabeth Stallone who has achieved the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award.
Faith has worked in her community of Wantagh to spread awareness about food insecurity and how to help those affected. She has established a yearly food drive at Wantagh High School to help families suffering from food insecurity and incorporated the event into the Battle of the Classes. On top of this, she rebuilt the food pantry at Good Sheppard Lutheran Church in Levittown after it burned down, to make sure there was no gap in service to those in need. She created a program where youth in the church can run the pantry for service hours.
“Almost every day, I encounter remarkable young people who are giving back to their community and helping people. Faith Stallone is one of those, and I am so thrilled to honor her for her efforts,” Legislator Giangregorio said. “Faith has worked tirelessly to curtail the spread of food insecurity in Nassau County, and for that, I am proud to honor her. Thank you for all you have done Faith, and I am looking forward to seeing the great things you’ll do in the future.”
