Books, Carols, and Coats in Bridgehampton

Thu, 12/14/2023 - 13:05

With the winter holiday season in full swing, efforts are afoot in Bridgehampton to help those in need.

The Bridgehampton Museum, the Hampton Library, and the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center will host Gifts & Carols: A Community Singalong on Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Nathaniel Rogers House. But it's not just about singing and holiday refreshments, the idea is to collect gifts for the center and the children it serves. Gifts can be dropped off at the singalong or in advance at the Nathaniel Rogers House from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Saturday. More information about donating is at bridgehamptonmuseum.org/gifts-carols.

Another way to give is by donating to the Book Angels at the Hampton Library, which provides wrapped books to Bridgehampton and Sagaponack students from pre-K to 12th grade. The reference desk has details.

L&W Market on Main Street is hosting a winter coat drive to benefit the Maureen's Haven homeless outreach organization. Through Jan. 15, gently used or new coats can be dropped off at the market, and each donor will receive a complimentary large coffee.
