Farmingville, NY - On August 23, Congressman Lee Zeldin joined Supervisor Ed Romaine to deliver “Meals on Wheels” to residents at Leisure Village in Ridge. The Congressman and Supervisor were warmly welcomed into the homes and assured the residents of their strong support for the “Meals on Wheels” program. “Meals on Wheels” is a nationwide network of community-based, non-profit programs dedicated to providing seniors in the community with the support that enables them to remain living independently in their own homes.
