Food Drive Scheduled For June 26 In Massapequa Park: How To Help

OYSTER BAY, NY — A food drive is planned for Saturday, June 26 at Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa.

The Town of Oyster Bay is partnering with Island Harvest Food Bank and Car Show Long Island to host "Cruise Thru Food Drop" — which officials say will benefit cash-strapped residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The rain date is Sunday, June 27.

"As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to impact our fellow Long Island residents, many people are facing a great hardship at this time," Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said in a statement. "I am proud that the Town will be partnering with Car Show Long Island to host a Cruise Thru Food Drop for our neighbors in need, as this event will not only help provide residents with a fun outlet to give back to those in need, but also practice social distancing while helping to champion a great cause."

Residents can help their neighbors by donating non-perishable food items and pet food at this event. Show cars and non-show cars are welcomed, and proper social distancing rules will be enforced.

Majorie Post Park is located at 451 Unqua Rd.
