The Mineola community came together on April 10 for the annual “mINNeola Macaroni” fundraiser, an evening of food and friends that benefits Long Islanders in need.
This year’s event raised $2,335 for the Mary Brennan Inn, a not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization that provides essential services to assist those challenged by hunger, homelessness and poverty on Long Island.
