STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.— Community spirit was on full display as the Italian Club of Staten Island Foundation led an effort to fight hunger across the borough Saturday at Christopher and St. Margaret Mary R.C. Church in Midland Beach.

About 100 people over the course of two days helped to distribute 1,000 bags of food borough-wide to those in need this holiday season.

Arirang Hibachi Steak House, Inc. in Great Kills, owned by Food Drive Chairman Marc Tranchina, went above and beyond by supplying trucks, picking up food from the depot, and delivering it to the church, where club members assembled the donations.

According to Bill Marco, a proud member of the Italian Club, this year’s food drive said this year “far exceeded” past years.
