A Seaford mother's act of kindness is spreading across Long
Island.
Mary Kate Tischler started “The Sharing Table” outside her
home after reading about a woman in Michigan who was doing the same thing.
The “take what you can, leave what you can” system has been
helping those who are in need this holiday season during a pandemic.
Each day, the table is filled with nonperishable foods and
toiletries while she goes about her day.
Tischler’s kindness has led to other tables popping up in
at least four other Long Island communities.
Judy Wichter, of Bethpage, heard about The Sharing Table
from a Facebook group Tischler started. She says she has been wanting to do
something like this for a while now.
"And I said, ‘That's it. I'm going to stop thinking
about it and let's just do it,'" she said.
According to the Facebook page, the locations on Long Island can be found at:
- Seaford Sharing Table: 2370 Narraganset Ave.
- Bethpage Sharing Table: 16 Helena Ave.
- Wantagh Sharing Table: 1195 Flower Lane
- St. James Sharing Table: 169 Northern Blvd.
- Massapequa Sharing Table: 220 Bayview Ave.
