Maria Morabito 'Works Continually To Help Feed Families'

WESTCHESTER-PUTNAM,NY — Without community leaders, Westchester/Putnam wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

This submission comes from Colleen Blair, a Westchester/Putnam reader who nominated Maria Morabito.
