Fourteen Years Ago Tonight!!

Every year,we come back to this photo, taken during Superstorm Sandy, because it captures the impossible contrast of that night: fire and flood, chaos and courage, fear and strength. The photo was taken by Babylon Volunteer Fire Fighter TJ McGurk while fighting a house fire in Little East Neck Road in Babylon.

Fourteen years ago, our community faced devastation that changed us forever. Yet what we remember most isn’t just the destruction — it’s the people. The neighbors who showed up. The volunteers who worked around the clock. The way we leaned on one another when everything else was uncertain.

That spirit of compassion and resilience is still alive today. It’s what inspired Neighbors Supporting Neighbors Babylon Inc., and it continues to remind me how strong we are when we stand together.

Thank you for your support 14 years ago and your continued support now as we work togehter to support our neighbors!

We may not be able to solve every challenge our neighbors face, but together we can provide some practical necessities, a little comfort, and a reminder that they are not forgotten.

Please share!

Every item donated is a small act of kindness, and every act of kindness matters. ❤️

As we watch this weekend’s Nor’easter, we want our volunteers, friends, and neighbors to know that NSN is here, we are preparing, and we are ready to help if our community needs us.

For more than a decade, Neighbors Supporting Neighbors has been about one simple thing: showing up for one another when life gets hard, and we will continue to do it whenever our neighbors need support.

Right now, we are monitoring the storm, staying in contact with our community partners, and preparing for the possibility that we may need to activate.

If that happens, we are prepared to operate from our primary response location at First Presbyterian Church of Babylon and assist with things like emergency supplies, food and basic necessities, volunteer coordination, connecting families with available resources, and helping address other needs that may arise from flooding, power outages, or displacement.

To our NSN volunteers — please stay connected with us this weekend. If we need help, we will post volunteer opportunities and specific needs here.

To our neighbors — please know that you are not alone. If this storm creates real needs in our community, we will do everything we can, together with our partners, to help.

For now, stay safe, get prepared, check on the people around you, and keep following this page for updates.

We are watching.
We are preparing.
We are ready to serve.

One Day. One Island. Thousands of Plates to Fill. 🧡

We’re kicking off our Stamp Out Hunger campaign with a bold goal: collect 500,000 pounds of food – right from Long Islanders’ doorsteps.

This is the ultimate community-powered effort. If every household leaves just a can or two or food by their mailbox, imagine how many families we can help across Long Island.

Be part of something big. Learn more and sign up to get your reminder email to put food out the morning of Saturday, May 9 – the day before Mother’s Day.
