At Stop & Shop in Miller Place, Rocky Point Rotary gathered food donations for Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church’s pantry. The pace was steady, the response consistent, and the support filled box after box. It wasn’t a rush. It wasn’t noisy. It was a quiet, steady flow of neighbors doing what they do best—giving generously.

Rotarians at the entrances of Stop & Shop welcomed shoppers and gathered donations.
One moment stood out: a woman wheeled forward a shopping cart filled with food and handed it over without hesitation. That single act captured the spirit of the day.
By day’s end, boxes of food were delivered and the pantry at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Rocky Point was restocked for families who need it most.
Before: Pantry shelves at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.
After: Shelves restocked through Sunday’s donations.
This is what generosity looks like in real life: steady, constant, and deeply human.
Donations delivered to the pantry.
To everyone who donated—thank you. To every Rotarian and family member who gave time and muscle—thank you.
And this is only the beginning. Hunger doesn’t stop. Watch for the next food drive—another chance to turn an ordinary Sunday into something extraordinary.
