East End Drop-Off Locations & Benefits for Victims of Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy and the devastation it has left behind once again proved that coming together as a community is one of the things we do best on the East End, ready to help those in need both near and far.
At this year’s Dan’s Papers Best of the Best Party on Thursday, November 15, we will be collecting nonperishables that we will distribute to food pantries across the East End.
