Food pantries in the Tri-state area have been experiencing long lines and a shortage of items. We felt having a food drive would be a great way to give back and also show that our Radiology and Pharmacy Departments care about the community. Partnering in the effort, we were able to double food items collected.&#8221; stated Shazaad Games, Radiology Supervisor at Flushing Hospital Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>All donations were sent to the South Asian Council for Social Services as well as a local community center in Flushing that distributes food to close to 1000 families.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all of the employees who donated toys and food.\u00a0 May you and your families have a wonderful holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5292 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/flushing-hospital-medical-center-employees-give-back-to-community\/pharmacy-food-drive\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1431\" height=\"1073\" src=\"https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pharmacy-food-drive.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pharmacy-food-drive.jpg 1431w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pharmacy-food-drive-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pharmacy-food-drive-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pharmacy-food-drive-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pharmacy-food-drive-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1431px) 100vw, 1431px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/flushing-hospital-medical-center-employees-give-back-to-community\/flushing-hospital-food-drive-radiology-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flushing-hospital-food-drive-radiology-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flushing-hospital-food-drive-radiology-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flushing-hospital-food-drive-radiology-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flushing-hospital-food-drive-radiology-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flushing-hospital-food-drive-radiology-1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareThis has been an unprecedented year; however, one of the things that remains the same is the generosity of the employees at Flushing Hospital Medical Center.
