Spring is really doing it’s thing, and we’re totally here for it! As we prepare to move into a new month next week, plenty of Hamptons locales are considering their fellow South Forker with this weekend’s activity roster.
A 2022 study by Feeding America estimates that almost 222,000 people on Long Island suffer from food insecurity, with almost 60,000 being children. Food banks on the East End have seen a rise in demand, with Long Island Cares serving nearly 7,000 people in its Hampton Bays pantry in 2022 alone. Today, the food pantry at the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton hosts an open food pantry from 5 to 6 p.m. It will be open weekly, every Thursday, for the forseable future.
Additionally, East Hampton Library hosts a sound healing session tonight, led by instructor Alessandra Lattanzio. So, if you’re feeling a little stressed our and need something to help you finish the week out strong, consider attending. It’s free and it could be just the thing you need.
Summer is coming, people! We can’t all be burned out yet!
