Letter to the Editor: New Group Available to Assist Sandy Victims

To the editor: 

There’s a new organization in town and it needs your help. The organization, “Friends of Wantagh-Seaford” was formed to help the community rebuild after Superstorm Sandy. The organization is similar to other Friends groups on Long Island and is part of the Friends of Long Island network. Its goal is to help people get back into their homes and rebuild our communities.

In conjunction with the Wantagh-Seaford Homeowners Association, the Friends of Wantagh-Seaford hopes to assist those in need. The Friends currently offer a “Rip-Out” service at no cost for its labor. In addition we can help coordinate with other relief agencies.  In the future it hopes to provide monetary relief too.  

As a newly formed local volunteer organization, we are seeking volunteers to join the group to help neighbors in need.  But for those in need, you can schedule a consultation by contacting Rita Matalone at 516-860-6132 or Chris Dolley at 516-679-2544.

We will be at the Wantagh-Seaford Homeowners’ post-Sandy forum this Monday, April 15, so stop by and meet us,
