2. LI Cares teams up with Old Navy to help Long Island. The Hauppauge based food bank has worked with Old Navy in Huntington since September to help those dealing with food insecurity throughout Long Island. "As we were thinking about how to reach the highest volume of people on Long Island, Long Island Cares stands out," general manager of Old Navy Taylor Owen told Patch. "You see the trucks driving all over the island, their facilities are big, and the name stands out. When I first reached out to them, they were so informative and made me feel off the bat that this was going to be a great partnership." Read more about the partnership in the link. (Huntington Patch)
3. Check out upcoming open houses in the Town of Huntington. The homes range in price and location and have an open house showing within a week. See photos and more information on the listings in the link. (Huntington Patch)
