Churches come together for Sandy victims

From New York-

Just days after Hurricane Sandy ravaged must of Long Island’s South Shore, Nassau County Episcopal churches began taking part in a relief effort that is still in full swing.

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Valley Stream and Trinity-St. John’s in Hewlett have joined forces to help those in need, and they even found some assistance in another state. On Monday, a party rental company from Massachusetts delivered a truckload of food and baby items to Trinity-St. John’s on Broadway, adding to the massive volume of items that had already been collected in the month since the storm.

Michael Linton, owner of Michael’s Party Rentals in Ludlow, Mass., organized a food drive there, partnering with area schools and churches. Items were collected during Thanksgiving week, and on Monday Linton made the four-hour drive to Hewlett, where 4,000 pounds of donations were unloaded and brought into the Trinity-St. John’s parish hall.
