The Garden City Property Owners Associations (GC POAs), in partnership with Long Island Cares, are coming together to host a community Christmas Food Drive aimed at supporting local families in need during the holiday season.

The event will take place on Saturday, December 13, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, at Blieddos/Key Food on 7th Street in Garden City. Volunteers will be on site collecting non-perishable food items and pantry essentials.

All donations gathered during the event will be delivered to the Mary Brennan Inn in Hempstead, a well-known community resource that serves individuals and families struggling with food insecurity.

The Garden City Property Owners Associations are excited to announce the Third Annual Holiday Decorating Contest! Holiday house decorating has long been a cherished tradition in our Village, and this friendly competition is a wonderful way to showcase your exterior decorations and share the spirit of the season with friends and neighbors.

Participation is simple, free, and open to all Garden City residents. Entries will be accepted through Wednesday, December 10th, and only homes located within Garden City are eligible to compete.

Whether your style is classic and elegant, or bold and bright, this contest is a festive way to celebrate the season together. If you’d like to enter, please email GCPOAEvents@gmail.com

Let’s light up the Village and make this holiday season the brightest one yet!

The EPOA Fall Newsletter has been mailed out, and we’re pleased to share a range of informative updates with the community. Inside, you’ll find a President’s message from June Michalak, important updates from Mayor Ed Finneran, a report from the Civic Beautification Committee, a Recreation Report, and a Library update from Mary Maguire.

We hope you enjoy this edition and find the information helpful as we move into the fall season.
