Hi all. It's me, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Daily. Here's all the community news you need to know right now.

First, today's weather:

Breezy in the morning. High: 84 low: 62.

Here are the top 4 stories today in Huntington:

1. Food collection drive scheduled for Friday at Stop & Shop in East Northport. It's a partnership between the supermarket, PSEG Long Island, and Island Harvest. You can drop off food from 8 a.m. through 7 p.m. (Patch)

3. Bistro Cassis was voted Bethpage's Best French Restaurant on Long Island in 2022. The restaurant is located at 55B Wall St. in Huntington Village and offers a beautiful decor with outside tables as well. Learn more about the restaurant and what they have to offer in the link. (Long Island Press)
4. Check out these eight cats with a tragic story who are available for adoption. The cats are available at Northport Cat Rescue Association. "A dear friend of Northport Cat Rescue Association has passed away, and now her eight loving cats are all in need of a new home," Lora Wild, a volunteer with the rescue, told Patch. "Her name was Eve, and she never turned away a cat or a kitten that needed help, and ended up with eight of her own, all cherished until the day she left them. We are trying to rehome these cats, that are all adults now, and grieving themselves. If you or anyone you know has room in their home and hearts, for any of these fur babies please reach out." (Patch)
