Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to help us STUFF-A-TRUCK for ISLAND HARVEST, Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization, who will be on-site collecting food donations for Long Island’s hungry and homeless.

We know it can get LOUD, so families of children with special needs and Sensitive Ears are invited to avoid the noise by attending our “Horn-Free Hour” from 10am-11am. All the fun of “Touch-A-Truck”, without loud music, horns and sirens.
