9/11 inspired this Staten Islander to volunteer for 20 years and counting

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Borough President Vito Fossella honored longtime volunteer Linda Lo on Friday at Borough Hall for her decades of service and dedication to giving back and helping those in need across Staten Island.

Lo, a Graniteville resident, has spent more than 20 years volunteering at food pantries, soup kitchens and other charities across Staten Island, including Catholic Charities of Staten Island, Blue Star Families, New York Cares, and AmeriCorps Seniors. She was recently recognized by NY1 as “New Yorker of the Week” for her longtime commitment to serving others.
