BY SALVATORE LICATA [email protected] @Sal_Licata1 It’s the season of giving, and that includes food for the needy as donations poured into the New York Families for Autistic Children (NYFAC) facility, which reached out to other community organizations to assist them with collections. On Dec. 1, the organization dropped off four boxes of nonperishable food items to the Our Lady of Grace Ministry of Care Services food pantry in Howard Beach. This followed a successful Thanksgiving food drive that NYFAC organized where they were able to provide a turkey and all the trimmings to over 20 NYFAC families. “It was great that we were able to help not just our NYFAC families, but those families in the Howard Beach community,” said Megan Ryman, NYFAC Day Habilitation Supervisor. Donations are still being accepted by Our Lady of Grace food pantry. For more information, call the rectory at 718-843-6218.
