Library Collection Bins Open for Fall Food Drive
Sea Cliff, NY · October 9, 2026
Overcast skies and a crisp morning breeze make a strong case for an extra layer before heading out for coffee. With knitting circles, story hours, and the weekend lineup taking shape, the village has settled comfortably into its autumn rhythm.
The Lead
October brings cooler air off Hempstead Harbor, and with it, the annual launch of The Great Give Back across Long Island public libraries. Sea Cliff Village Library has placed collection bins in both the adult reading room and the children's library to support NOSH Delivers, the grassroots pantry providing groceries to North Shore households facing food insecurity.
While the designated statewide service day falls later in the month, Sea Cliff’s local drive runs through the coming weeks to gather high-demand staples before winter: shelf-stable milk, canned proteins, hearty soups, and everyday personal care items. For a compact village perched above the water, the project turns a routine library visit into a direct neighborhood safety net. Donations can be dropped off during standard library desk hours, with volunteers transferring items directly to distribution tables each week.

Spotlight & Story
- Roslyn Avenue
- Laid out in the 1870s to connect the Methodist campground south toward the older harbor village of Roslyn, this commercial artery served as the original stagecoach and mail route long before carrying fire trucks out of station 69 or dinner crowds to local bistros.
