ISLAND PARK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – A still recovering hurricane-ravaged community on Long Island has extended a helping hand to the tornado victims of Oklahoma.
In just a few short days, Sandy-ravaged Island Park residents raised thousands of dollars in supplies for Oklahoma tornado victims.
“From Far Rockaway to Mastic Beach, Massapequa, Freeport, it just went, in six days, we raised I think like, 15 grand,” organizer Tommy Asher told WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs.
