BABYLON, NY— Nearly 300,000 Long Islanders face food insecurity at some point throughout the year, many of whom call towns like Babylon, Lindenhurst and Deer Park home.
To help community members facing food insecurity, Councilmen DuWayne Gregory and Terence McSweeney have organized the town's 4th Annual Peanut Butter and Jelly Collection Drive to benefit the Town of Babylon's food pantry.
On Saturday, May 11, local mail carriers will pick up donated food and personal items from residents' mailboxes for the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive in partnership with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the Island Harvest Food Bank.
