Beyond the glossy, picture-perfect view of East Hampton is real life with real people. 12% of our neighbors live below the poverty level and even more are food-insecure. The Springs Food Pantry is one of the fabulous organizations in our community making a difference in people’s lives. We’ll help unload fresh produce from local farms, including Share the Harvest, Balsam Farms and Amber Waves and repack some into family-sized portions. Each week, we’ll also pack lunch bags for hundreds of local kids.

The Surfrider Foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s ocean, waves and beaches, for all people, through a powerful activist network.

The Village Green Bioswale is contoured with gently sloped sides and planted with vegetation designed to absorb road runoff, filter pollution from stormwater, and provide native habitat while beautifying a public space. This garden project protects clean water in the Hook Pond watershed, which is threatened by harmful algal blooms and nutrient overloads of nitrogen and phosphorus from septic systems, fertilizer, and other runoff.

The Methodist Lane Bioswale supports pollinators through native plants that have coevolved with our local bees, butterflies, moths, and more. Pollinator plants often have beautiful flowers and can bring color and life to your yard at home while supporting biodiversity. The Hook Pond watershed is approximately 2,500 acres, and the Methodist Lane bioswale filters approximately 750 acres of that. We don’t have a number for Village Green, but it continues to filter much of Hook Pond as well.

Methodist Lane, East Hampton, NY 11937 is located across Pantigo Road from the EH Post Office / CVS Pantigo.
