Town Hosting Clothing Drive Saturday, Sunday in 3 Locations

Big turnout to these events Saturday afternoon. Clothing drive will help people who are need.

On Saturday and Sunday from 12-5 p.m., the Town of Oyster Bay will hold a drive where residents can pick up and drop off clothing.

Those donating are encouraged to bring adult and children’s clothing, shoes, blankets, coats and children’s toys. The drive will be held at the Oyster Bay Community Center on Church Street in Oyster Bay, Woodbury Community Park, and Marjorie R. Post Community Park.

“I’m hopeful that providing residents in their time of need will go a long way toward making the current situation we all find ourselves in a little more tolerable, as clean-up and restoration efforts progress,” Supervisor John Venditto said.

Donations of clothing, shoes, blankets, coats and children's toys will be collected on Saturday. On Sunday, between noon and 5, the Town will distribute these items to any and all residents in need.

"We hope this drive will provide some relief in the face of falling temperatures," said Councilwoman Rebecca Alesia of Plainview.

Where can we donate food for the pets? I'll bring some there and someone who needs it can pick it up.

Syosset-Woodbury turned me away at 4:45 saying they were at capacity, and no donations tomorrow. Can you please update the story with other local spots (if any) that will accept clothing, shoes and baby items on Sunday?

It would be great if we could leave donations at the Library. Any chance this can happen. Everyone is afraid of driving anywhere.

The definition of STOP in the driving world is " the complete cessation of movement".Read More Sound like many people think STOP signs mean 1. Slow To Observe Police or 2. Slightly Touch On (brake) pedal. Time to go to traffic school online at www.oltep.com. Relearn what you forgot from Driver's Ed. Stay Safe

Stop means stop. Just like stop signs, where it seems like the local definition is to slow down toRead More 30 mph. You STOP, and look. Then go. I have seen kids having a tough time crossing Jamaica Ave because of this twisted definition of STOP. If anything, this is a good way to relearn what should of been taught in drivers ed. When I moved to Plainview, people at a stop sign would signal the driver that got there first to go. Now it's a race to the stop sign and fly by it to avoid having the other guy go first.
