A community block party was held on June 6 at the Baldwin Long Island Rail Road station to coincide with Hope Day NY. Volunteers from many local churches, including members of the Ark of Salvation Church in Oceanside, volunteered to make the afternoon a success.

Local residents had a bit of fun last weekend on Hope Day NY — a day of free entertainment across New York City and Long Island organized by local churches.

At the Baldwin Long Island Rail Road station, people of all ages came out to enjoy face painting, live music, resume services, health screenings, among other attractions.

Iglesia Long Island Para Cristo of Freeport organized the local event.
