Members of the varsity, junior varsity and middle school baseball teams
recently volunteered at Maureen’s Haven, a shelter for people in need in
Riverhead. This annual event had student-athletes working together,
along with coaches Mr. Anthony Anzalone and Mr. Eric Strovink, setting
up beds, stocking the pantry, setting dinner tables, and packing lunches
and snacks. When they finished setting up the location, they presented
the director with 50 fast-food restaurant gift cards to give out to the
people at the facility. Additionally, the students collected and donated
food items, packaged snacks, rain ponchos, gloves, winter hats,
toothbrushes, lip balm and so much more so each person at the shelter
can benefit from the kindness for weeks to come. On behalf of the Rocky
Point School District, thank you to these students who demonstrated
their hard work and compassion with this heartwarming gesture.
