Stop by our booth on Main Street by the train station next Saturday (November 26th). We will collect food, diapers, formula and toiletries during the Port Holiday Magic event.

November 13

On Saturday November 26th it's Port Holiday Magic! Stop by our booth from 12-noon to 4pm . We will be on Main Street across from the train station. We will collect food, baby formula, diapers and toiletries. We will also tell people about Can You Help Too and we will encourage them to join our commUNITY project (click here). The Magic Returns To Main Street & Beyond (co-hosted by Residents Forward with the PW BID, the PW Chamber of Commerce, and Landmark on Main Street.)Don’t miss the magic when Port Washington comes alive with entertainment, special offers, free trolley, and a whole lot of MAGIC! Performances begin at 12pm. Santa rides a fire truck then greets families at the train station on Main Street; musical march on Main Street; DJ, old fashioned sleigh, costumed characters, booths at the train station; free trolley for shoppers; strolling carolers; entertainment at several locations and more. Nov. 26 marks the 12th annual Small Business Saturday – a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve our neighborhoods. Everyone benefits when we remember “BEFORE YOU CLICK AND BUY, GIVE PORT A TRY.”
To make this day extra festive and to kick off the holiday shopping season in a big way, the Greater Port Washington BID, the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, Residents Forward and Landmark on Main Street is celebrating with our own Port Holiday Magic! Starting at noon, kids of all ages can see Santa ride past on a firetruck. He will travel along Port Washington Boulevard, Main Street, Shore Road and Manorhaven Boulevard.
Stores throughout town will have special holiday offers for shoppers. Some offers will be for the entire holiday season and some stores will arrange for delivery or pickup. For the latest updates on participating stores’ holiday specials, visit the Events section on the Try Port First mobile app or pwcoc.org.
Shoppers will enjoy live and recorded musical entertainment outside as they stroll from store to store. Entertainers will be at the train station, at Ayhan’s Corner and at other locations on Main Street. There will be several holiday-themed backgrounds for your perfect holiday selfies, including an old-fashioned sleigh, an inflatable snowman and an inflatable tree.
Port Washington’s shopping districts will look especially festive for the celebration. The BID will install lighted snowflakes on the utility poles and the Chamber will adorn the Main Street lampposts with garland, lights and red bows. Stores throughout town will go all out to win the Port Holiday Magic Window Decorating Contest. To support both the businesses and shoppers, the Town of North Hempstead is suspending all on-street parking meter fees from Port Holiday Magic on Small Business Saturday to January 1, 2022. The Port Washington Police District will provide extra safety for shoppers at the major crossings.
The event raises awareness of the vital role small businesses play in our community and our economy. This year more than ever, shopping locally for the holidays is safe, convenient and easy. You are supporting your local merchants, who not only appreciate your business but also pay a large share of property taxes and help maintain the economic stability of our community. They also offer special customer services that the online merchants and big box stores don’t offer and they support requests for donations for our community organizations like the schools, scouts, religious and civic institutions and others.
Importantly, online shoppers may not realize that for every $100 you spend in your local small businesses, $68 stays in our community through jobs, taxes, contributions to non-profits and more. For every $100 you spend online, $0 stays in our community.
Help strengthen our community by supporting local businesses that support our town. Shop Local on Nov. 26 and throughout the holiday season. Be sure to look for the gold and red bow on the doors of participating businesses and show them your support. All the store specials are available rain, snow or shine!

We are helping the PRC collect baby formula and diapers.

You experience unconditional love, and the unending battle for a better night’s sleep. You join the ranks of parenthood, yet may feel lonely and confused. As infants mature to toddlerhood, you look for new ways to bond with them and support their growth.​The PRC story began with a simple belief: you don’t have to do it alone.​Celebrating more than 4 decades in Port Washington, The Parent Resource Center (“PRC”) has been an integral part of the community, bringing together families with young children to play, learn, grow, and make life-long friendships. We are the place where children and their caregivers make their first connections.​Founded by Lynne Patterson in 1980, the PRC was originally housed in one room of the old Flower Hill School on Campus Drive. Today, the PRC has grown to over 400 members and provides parenting workshops, social events, recreational outings, summer enrichment programs, and a myriad of developmental classes geared toward infants and toddlers. Since the beginning, a core commitment of the PRC has been supporting economically disadvantaged families. Our Outreach program helps many local families gain access to early childhood educational opportunities through our “Stepping Stones” preschool readiness classes, ESL classes, summer enrichment program and scholarships to PRC programs.​With professionally-led classes and a loving staff, The Parent Resource Center of Port Washington has become one of the premiere early childhood learning centers in our region. We strive to create an environment that is welcoming, safe and inclusive and hope that you’ll join us at an upcoming class or future event.

The Community Dinners are finally back in person last night! It was so nice to work in the kitchen and to meet new families. Even though we did not have as many families as we used to, it was still a huge success. The strong message going back to the community we try to support is that WE ARE BACK! We were able to provide a safe welcoming and inclusive fun time for all. Let the word spread that those who could not join us missed a special event and that they should join next time! I want to take the time to thank the Community Dinners sponsors - Comfort Diner and Grace's Table for their generous food donation.

We delivered our first bin to Syracuse University Food Pantry! We met Ms. Leondra Tyler who is one of the coordinators. The Hendricks Chapel Food Pantry is stocked with food and personal care items, available at no cost to all students with valid Syracuse University or SUNY ESF ID. Hendricks Chapel relies on the generous donations from the Syracuse University community to stock the food pantry. You can help too! Items may also be ordered through their Amazon Wish List (click on the link to have access to the list).

Food Drive from September 27th to October 23rd, 2021

I will be picking up donations from people who added their contact information to the mailing list until October 23rd. In the meantime, people can still drop off donations at 44 North Bayles avenue. Some of the donations will be for the Syracuse University Food Pantry and some of the donations will be for The Lady Of Fatima. I will also collect baby food, baby formula and diapers for NOSH. Stay tuned for our pop-up locations!

Great event for Be The Rainbow at the Growing Love Community Garden. Follow them on Instagram @betherainboworg and @growinglovepwTogether...We Can Help Too!! At the event, Mrs. Meagan McCarty stopped by my booth and told me she was collecting food for NOSH. A fire destroyed headquarters of Nosh in August. Although the brick building that housed NOSH remains intact, the fire destroyed the supply of Fresh, frozen and dry food stored upstairs, which was enough to feed families for two months.
We will be helping collecting items as well for NOSH... and You Can Help Too! So join us!

UPCOMING EVENT!

POP UP LOCATION!!!! WE WILL BE COLLECTING CANNED FOOD!!! Come to Be The Rainbow event from 11am to 1pm at The Growing Love Community Garden in Manorhaven (by the parking lot across The Lady Of Fatima)., there will be yoga, art and music!

September 1st, 2021

we have big news! We Just Launched #Canyouhelptoopw On Instagram!

Make sure to follow-us and to have friends follow us as well. We will be posting updates of pop-up locations where we display our bins to collect food. It is also a great way to find out what we are up to and how you can help! We need you! As of right now, the best way to reach us is to send us a PM on Instagram or at: Help@canyouhelptoo.org

Today, I made my second delivery and met briefly with Sister Kathy. Stay tuned! Both of us came up with ideas to get more volunteers to help and to collect more donations! Thank you so much to everyone who donated. This week, we are asking everyone who is home on Labor Day Weekend to clean-up their pantries. If you have not open a can within the last 6 months...it does not look like you will open it soon...How about donating it. Even if it is just one can! As Mother Theresa said " If you cannot feed a 100 people , then feed just one". Did you know she was French? Just like David and I!

AUGUST 23, 2021

Now that David is in College and is no longer able to drive and drop off the donations, we decided to pick a local pantry to help. We want to encourage people to drop off needed items at The Lady Of Fatima in Manorhaven (Port Washington, NY) . We will still collect items (ask about our drop off bin on our driveway) and we will deliver them once a week or every other. Today we met with Sister Kathy from The Lady Of Fatima in Manorhaven. She welcomed us with open arms and a big smile. The church was getting some donations delivered that day as well. It was nice to meet other people.

MAY 1ST, 2021

May 1st, 2021 is when "Can You Help Too" had its very first event. We were located at The Growing Love Community Garden in Manorhaven and we had a booth during their opening event.
