Volunteers sought for Huntington food drive


Suffolk County Legislator Jon Cooper (D-Huntington) is looking for volunteers for a food drive at two supermarkets next Friday for both people and pets.

Volunteers at the supermarkets will urge shoppers to buy and donate canned food that will then be given to the Community Food Council of Huntington, a not-for-profit food pantry in Huntington Station, and to the Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Adoption Center, a no-kill shelter in Huntington.

The drive will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Stop-N-Shop at 454 Fort Salonga Rd., Northport, and from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Waldbaum's at 60 Wall St., Huntington Village.

In a previous drive during the winter, more than 15 shopping carts of food were donated.

To volunteer, call Lora Gellerstein at Cooper's office, 631-854-4500.
