Hempstead, N.Y. - The LIU Post men's basketball
team took a break from their season to volunteer at the Marry
Brennan Inn, a soup kitchen for residents in Hempstead.
During their visit, they assisted in feeding residents and handing
out care packages to those in need.
"My staff and I are teaching our student-athletes the importance of
being involved in the community, as well as being thankful for the
little things in life that we take for granted," Head Coach Erik
Smiles said. "The experience that our young men received
today was both humbling and gratifying, and we will continue to
teach life lessons to our student-athletes."
The Mary Brennan Inn addresses the issues of hunger and
homelessness on Long Island by providing food, shelter, long-term
housing and supportive services in a dignified and respectful
manner for those who seek help. They are a non-for-profit,
volunteer-based organization with a dedicated staff.
