A Northport business and other local businesses have partnered with the The Townwide Fund of Huntington to set up Coin Boxes.

Each participating establishment will have a Coin Box set up inside the store. Customers can drop in dollars and coins into the box to allow the Townwide Fund to provide more grants to local agencies.

Coin Boxes can be found at the 7-11 Northport, at 255 Pulaski Road, and other locations in Huntington.

“We encourage our friends and neighbors to patronize the stores who support the Townwide Fund,” said Jim Powers, Townwide Fund president. “It truly takes a village to support a community, and every little bit adds up to make a big difference.”

To find out where the money is going, visit The Townwide Fund of Huntington website.

Here are participating Huntington locations:

• DiRaimos Pizza— 76 Wall St.

• 7-11 Huntington— 128 E Main St.
• Rob Roy Deli— 758 Park Ave.
• Huntington One Stop— 5 High St.
• Harbor Beverages— 11 Lake Place
• Crystal Clear Cleaners— 206 Wall St.
• A Rise Above Bake Shop— 333 Main St.
• Herrell’s Ice Cream— 46 Gerard St.

“So whether you are grabbing a slice and a soda at DiRaimos Pizza on Wall Street or stopping by the 7-11 on East Main Street for a hot coffee and a lottery ticket, please say thank you to the person behind the counter for serving as a Coin Box Sponsor,” said a Townwide Fund of Huntington press release.
