Kait's Angels 'Stuff The Trailer' To Help Needy At Holidays

MATTITUCK, NY — It's just the kind of thing Kaitlyn Doorhy would have loved: Kait's Angels will brighten the holiday season for the needy Thursday, as they present a "Stuff The Trailer" event and collect items to help those less fortunate.

The event, hosted by 101.7 The Beach takes place on Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at East on Main in Mattituck and includes live music by Points East, a free buffet and wine tasting donated by East on Main and CWD Distributing.

Guests can help stuff the iconic black and pink Kait's Angels trailer with holiday joy: Items needed include unwrapped toys, grocery gift cards, gas cards, restaurant gift cards, new socks and underwear, toothpaste and brushes, non-perishable food, monetary donations, and new shirts, shoes, and jackets in kids' and adult sizes.

August marked four years since Mattituck's Kaitlyn Doorhy, 20, died while away at college — but for the many who love her, the pain of her loss remains achingly real.

The community whose lives she touched have kept her memory alive and strong with Kait's Angels, a not-for-profit organization created to honor Kaitlyn's beautiful memory through acts of kindness— with all proceeds staying local to help those in the community in need. And the Christmas event captures her spirit for giving back, a meaningful message during the holiday season.
