Local Organizes Children's Book Drive Through College Honor Society

Books go to children in the Education & Assistance Corporation programs.

Smithtown native and St. Joseph’s College student Nicole Mark spearheaded a book drive where hundreds of books were donated to the Education & Assistance Corporation.

EAC, a not-for-profit organization that provides services for non-violent offenders, children, families and senior citizens, received hundreds of books for children from the students, members of Sigma Tau Delta, the English Honor Society.

The organization distributed the books throughout its programs to children, programs that catered to more than 11, 550 children and families last year.
