"New Yorkers know firsthand the devastation a natural disaster can bring. Our neighbors in Texas are dealing with aftermath and destruction of Hurricane Harvey and we will be there for them," Suozzi said in a press release. "This is what America and public service is all about. I will support the federal government doing whatever is needed to help our friends in Texas."

Suozzi's Huntington District Office is located at 478A Park Ave. His Queens District Office is located at 250-02 Northern Boulevard in Little Neck. (Queens office is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday)

The collections will be then sent to the City of Long Beach, which has established a donation center for the next two weeks to collect items. The Long Beach Auxiliary Police Department & City of Long Beach Fire Department will be accepting donations for the victims of Hurricane Harvey. The donation center was launched by Long Beach Councilman Scott J. Mandel.

"Here in Long Beach we know the devastation a storm can bring, and we know how critical it was for so many agencies and kind people from across the country to come to our aid and that's why we are again paying it forward," Jack Schnirman, Long Beach City Manager, said.
