Smithtown resident Ellen Lawrence wanted to help the people on Long Island who are suffering from Hurricane Sandy. Ellen contacted Island Harvest in Hauppauge and volunteered to collect food from shoppers at Stop N Shop in Smithtown. With a sense of urgency she arranged, almost overnight, to stand outside the store on Monday, November 5 from 1-5pm. Shoppers responded to the woman standing outside in the cold giving her time to help others. The people of Smithtown responded in a big way! When all was said and done 966 pounds of food and cash was donated to Island Harvest to help Long Islanders.
