Lynbrook American Water Holding Food Drive

New York American Water encourages everyone to join them in assisting those in need this holiday season, as the company is sponsoring a food drive that will help Long Island Cares feed the hungry in local communities.

“We have collection boxes at our locations in Lynbrook, Merrick and Sea Cliff,” said Vice President of Operations Brian Bruce. “We hope those members of our community who can, will join our employees in filling these such that we will need more boxes.” 

Anyone wishing to donate may bring cans or non-perishable food items (no glass please) to one of the following locations by Friday, Nov. 22.

  • Lynbrook Office Building at 733 Sunrise Highway, Lynbrook, NY
  • Merrick Office Building at 60 Brooklyn Ave., Merrick, NY
  • Sea Cliff Office Building at 325 Prospect Ave., Sea Cliff, NY
