Rainbow Senior Center Open, Offering Hot Meals
Director Barbara Poldino says Center has heat, power and hot meals and is open for all impacted by Hurricane Sandy on Saturday and Sunday.
The Rainbow Senior Center in the Village of Lindenhurst is open Saturday and Sunday, November 3 and 4, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"We just got our power back last night, so we have heat and TV for the kids, and we have hot food coming in cooked by some volunteers," Director Barbara Poldino told Lindenhurst Patch on Saturday.
"Please come, sit and stay; we're not limiting to seniors. We're a former school, so we have room," she said.

People could charge their electronics there, too, she said.
Poldino also said the Center has been calling its seniors in the community to check on them, but any word residents could get out to them about this help, and any word back to the Center they could provide about the seniors in the community that they're okay would be helpful.

"We're calling them, and we're using word of mouth, but any help in that respect would be much appreciated," she said.
