The Community Social Action Committee will be offering food certificates or food baskets to the needy families and individuals living in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich community. We are calling upon our local residents for support. A large number of families, individuals and seniors will be given assistance for the upcoming holiday season. This is an inter-religious community effort that works closely with the local agencies, churches and schools to identify those in need. The number of people needing assistance is increasing in our community. This need is real and very disturbing.
This program merits your support. We hope that you will want to join us in this offering and act of giving. Together we can help many people who are struggling in our own community to have a happier Holiday Season; something many of us take for granted.
Nonperishable food items and turkeys will be accepted at the Food Drive, located at the First Presbyterian Church on East Main Street in Oyster Bay, on Monday, Nov. 24 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., and Tuesday, Nov. 25 between the hours of 9 a.m. and noon. If you would like to donate a turkey, it must be delivered frozen on Tuesday, Nov. 25, before noon.
Donations should be mailed to the C.S.A.C. Holiday Sharing Program, Box 231, Oyster Bay, NY 11771. Your donation will be used to purchase the necessary food certificates and supplies to keep this important outreach program going. Let us not fail those less fortunate than ourselves!
