For nearly 50 years, Marina Del Rey
has been a fi xture in Throggs Neck. It
has hosted weddings, police events and
many holiday parties.
But when COVID-19 hit, it couldn’t
just shut down and stay dormant. So
with all large gatherings canceled, the
catering hall decided it was time to
give back.

Since April, it has been donating
food every Sunday with the Throggs
Neck Benevolent Association to front
line workers and the police.
They have dropped off food at Calvary
Hospital, the 48th and 45th Precincts,
Jacobi Hospital, Montefi ore
Medical Center: Einstein Campus
and the Children’s Hospital at Montefi
ore.
General Manager Tom Cornish
said a lot of the credit goes to Chef
Dan Savino, whose fi rst and only job
has been with Marina Del Rey for 40
years. He expressed his gratitude to
Matt O’Brien of the TNBA as well.
“Even though it seems like a lot of
food, it doesn’t take much time to do,”
Cornish said. “These guys have been
doing it for many years.”
