Community Service has been very busy. We continue to donate blankets, scarves and hats to Safe Center and various nursing homes. We are collecting used eye-glasses for the Lions Club. We have donated children's clothing to Love, Nana by Backyard Players and Friends which they wash, package, and distribute to local families in need. We are still collecting new and gently used cothing up to 24 month for them.
Ever since Covid, we have been unable to bring our Ouch Babies in to local hospitals. But now, we will be able to give them to the children who are patients of the Northwell Health Systems hospitals.
And we will be partnering with Backyard Players and Friends to collect and distribute needed items to the families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House. We are in need of diapers (sizes 1-5,) toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant and other essentials. To help meet their needs, we have an Amazon Wishlist where you can purchase these items, including Amazon gift cards. The following link will take you directly to the list, where they will be delivered directly to the Community Service Chairpeople:
If you don't feel like shopping, we will also gladly accept any contribution and use it to buy the essentials these families need. Our Ouch Babies will also be included.
We are also working on holding 2 Pop-Up sessions with Backyard Players and Friends where we will meet the wonderful volunteers and help them make the gift packages. Date to be announced soon.
