Long Island Aquarium Accepting Donations For Sandy Victims

Bring donations for those ravaged by the storm to the aquarium.

The Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center is opening its doors to help those left devastated by Hurricane Sandy.

The Aquarium has teamed up with Long Island Cares, The Harry Chapin Food Bank, and has become a donation site for storm victims.

Those wishing to help can bring the following bagged items:

•   Ready-to-eat non-perishable food items (No-cook food items: canned tuna, cereal and granola bars, etc.)

•   Personal care items (unused shampoo, deodorant, soap, etc.)

•   Clean blankets

•   Clean coats

•   Baby items (diapers, wipes, liquid formula)

Currently, Long Island Cares does not need food items other than those listed above and cannot accept clothing. Donations should be dropped off at the Aquarium’s main entrance.

For more information, call 631.208.9200, ext. H2O (426).
