Testimonials

 Neighbors, whenever you're in Morgan Memorial Park this summer enjoying the concerts, viewing the Fourth of July fireworks, or strolling the beautiful grounds, please pause to remember our veterans. I fondly recall Corporal Valentino Acocella, the first veteran I met in Glen Cove. 

His love of country and pride in her defense were evident to all who were fortunate to spend time with him. I know he would be exceedingly proud of his granddaughter Danielle Fugazy Scagliola who's tireless efforts to secure funding and location made this program possible.

 Danielle is an amazing person who has a tremendous sense of Glen Cove Pride and truly cares about everyone in the community. In fact, during the pandemic, my wife and I started delivering food to families in need but didn't know how we were going to sustain the food/funds to continue to support them. Within a few days of advertising the pantry to the public, Danielle stepped in!! Matter fact, she physically helped prepare food boxes, distributed food to families in need and through multiple generous donors, she provided us with huge donations that allowed us to sustain the program for nearly a year. She doesn't ask for accolades nor does she brag or post about the great things she has done and continues to do in the community...

Instead she lives by the biblical scripture Mark 6:3 "But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth" 

She is truly a blessing to the Glen Cove community.

My favorite people are those who work quietly and consistently behind the scenes to help others and never once ask for anything in return. It shows me everything I need to know about that individual and our community has no shortage of my kind of people. On behalf of the Porch Pantry we would like to say thank you to our anonymous donor of the incredibly generous donation of $5000 to help support local families in urgent need.

Thank you Danielle Fugazy Scagliola, Glen Cove City Council for facilitating and understanding the importance of building relationships, connections, and creating a more inclusive & secure environment for all.
