Fall Senior Advocate Schedules
Suffolk Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) is pleased to inform Babylon and Huntington residents about the local Suffolk County Office for the Aging Fall 2024 Senior Advocate Schedule. Senior advocates are County representatives who come out into the community and assist seniors with information gathering, completion of eligibility or recertification applications and referrals to appropriate community agencies.
“It is so important for
us to provide our senior citizens with the assistance and information they need in ways that are most convenient to them. These visits allow our seniors to connect with our County’s senior advocates right in their own communities,” said Legislator Donnelly. “I hope all those interested in the services that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging provides will take advantage of this opportunity.”

8th Annual Pasta & Sauce Drive
Babylon Town Councilman Anthony Manetta is excited to announce the success of his 8th Annual Pasta & Sauce Drive. In partnership with the Constantino Brumidi Lodge of the Sons and Daughters of Italy in Deer Park, it was a recordbreaking year for the drive with 1,220 pounds of pasta and 617 jars of sauce collected.
“I’m thrilled to see our
community come together once again to help those in need,” Manetta said. “This year’s Pasta & Sauce Drive was our most successful yet, and it’s a testament to the generosity and kindness of our neighbors here in Babylon. With the help of the Constantino Brumidi Lodge and everyone who contributed, we’ve been able to make a meaningful impact by collecting over 1,200 pounds of pasta and 600 jars of sauce. Together, we’re helping ensure that no family in our community goes hungry.” This means thousands of meals for local residents in need. For everyone who donated, you have directly helped stock the shelves of food pantries across the Town of Babylon in a big way!
The Long Island Run For The Warriors 5K Run/Walk
The Long Island Run For The Warriors 5K Run/ Walk honored service members, veterans and their families and celebrated their strength and resolve at its Nov. 9 event in West Babylon.
Over 400 participants partook in the event at Belmont Lake State Park Serene Picnics and Recreation supporting the nonprofit Hope For The Warriors. The race was open to civilians and military
members but also provided wounded service members encouragement and the opportunity to pursue the sport of running, walking or adaptive cycling to assist in physical and emotional rehabilitation.
Tim Scherer a Gold Star father, was the guest speaker, for the final event in the 2024 Suffolk County Veteran Run Series.
“It was a beautiful day for the community to enjoy this annual event
honoring veterans right before Veterans Day,” shared Emma Walsh Hope For The Warriors Chief Impact Officer. “At Hope For The Warriors, every day is Veterans Day for us and our staff, but events like these are a great reminder for the civilian community to appreciate the freedoms we have thanks to our military.”
Proceeds benefit Hope For The Warriors, a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a foundation of stability, strength and community for post-9/11 veterans, service members and military families.
