Kevin has also raised over $1,000 selling Awareness Magnet Ribbons throughout the surrounding communities. "Thank you to all who have showed such generous support." If you too would like to purchase a ribbon, please contact Kevin at 631-747-7582
Kevin had learned about a food pantry that had been destroyed by fire and in desperate need of rebuilding. "The Gerald J. Ryan Outreach Center, Inc. in Wyandanch provides dignified assistance in meeting the emergency needs of community residents" and is a member of Island Harvest serving an average of 100 individuals per week from its surrounding communities. Kevin jumped into action by starting his Boy Scout Eagle Project early even though he has 3 more years before he turns 18. His project involves designing and organizing his fellow scouts to create 180 feet of shelving space and stocking them with food.
