Volunteers from the international disaster relief agency World Renew - also known to many as the Green Shirts - will be coming to Babylon Village throughout the day Wednesday and Babylon Town Hall in North Lindenhurst all day on Thursday to offer their assistance to families still recovering from Hurricane Sandy.

According to Theresa DePietto-Roesler, president of Neighbors Supporting Neighbors Babylon, the "aptly named" Green Shirts will be meeting at Babylon Town Hall - located at 200 East Sunrise Highway in North Lindenhurst - before heading to Babylon Village after 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1.

The World Renew volunteers will be working with the Long Island Volunteer Center and Long Term Recover Group to help assign the members to the places that will need them the most. 

The members will be setting up within the area to help complete a community needs assessment, which could bring more funding to help residents get back on its feet after October's powerful hurricane.

DePietto-Roesler said the volunteers will be in Babylon Village from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday and up at Babylon Town Hall in North Lindy from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 2.
