Members of EOC of Suffolk’s Leaders of the Future program recently rolled up their sleeves to lend a hand at our ACE Family Development Food Pantry in Amityville!
The young volunteers helped unpack a food shipment, restock shelves, organize supplies, and clean the pantry in preparation for the week’s food distribution.
Their efforts helped ensure that the pantry was ready to serve local individuals and families facing food insecurity.
Beyond the work itself, the visit offered these young leaders an opportunity to experience firsthand the importance of community service, teamwork, and helping neighbors in need.
👏 Thank you to our Leaders of the Future for demonstrating that making a difference in your community can begin at any age!

As we celebrate 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, this week EOC of Suffolk is profiling 𝗗𝗿. 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗿𝗶́𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘇 𝗧𝗿𝗶́𝗮𝘀, a pioneering pediatrician and public health leader who devoted her career to people and communities too often overlooked by the health care system.
A Puerto Rican American physician, Rodríguez Trías became a national advocate for women, children, people living with HIV/AIDS, and underserved communities. She also became the first Latina president of the American Public Health Association and worked throughout her career to make health care more equitable and accessible.
Her work reflected a powerful principle: quality health care should be available to everyone, regardless of income, background, gender, or where they live.
Her legacy continues in the ongoing effort to ensure that every individual and every community has the opportunity to live a healthier life.
