BAY SHORE, NY — Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly selected Maria Victoria Salcedo of Bay Shore as his 2024 Non-Profit Volunteer of the Year and recognized her commitment to helping others through her work with Pronto of Long Island in Bay Shore.
Since 2021, Salcedo has been a key volunteer with Pronto’s Senior Program, which started during the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver food and personal care items to seniors in need. She has been an integral part of the program’s growth into a vibrant weekly Senior Social Program, assisting with live music, art classes, special events, and hospitality tasks.
Salcedo also dedicates her Thursday evenings to distributing food to families at Pronto’s Client Choice Food Pantry, bringing warmth and compassion to every interaction.
"Ms. Salcedo’s unwavering commitment to serving seniors and families in need is truly inspiring," said Legislator Donnelly. "Her kindness, generosity, and hard work have made an incredible impact on our community, and it is a privilege to honor her as my 2024 Non-Profit Volunteer of the Year."
Resolution No. 602-2024 designated November as "Nonprofit Volunteer Appreciation Month" in Suffolk County, authorizing each legislator to select a nonprofit volunteer to honor. Salcedo and the other recipients were recognized in a special ceremony at the William H. Rogers Legislature Building in Hauppauge on November 19 where Legislator Donnelly presented her with a County Proclamation.
