A Helping Hand: South Fork Nonprofits Work Tirelessly To Uplift Communities | The Sessions Report

As the holiday season approaches, there is an opportunity to take a moment to appreciate — and to support, financially — the many nonprofit organizations that enrich the cultural life of the South Fork, and provide a "Helping Hand" to so many families in need. This special Express Sessions event had multiple purposes: to shine a spotlight on the often underappreciated work of so many local charities and volunteers, to talk about the challenges they face in a difficult economy and a post-COVID world, and to provide an ongoing resource at 27east.com that catalogs the many organizations and shares information about how to support them financially or by volunteering, during the holiday season and all year long. The panel included: Molly Bishop, Executive Director, Heart of the Hamptons; Kasia Klimiuk, Co-Director, Our Fabulous Variety Show; Bonnie Cannon, Executive Director, Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center; Dr. Georgette Grier-Key, Executive Director, Eastville Community Historical Society; Andrea Grover, Executive Director, Guild Hall; Susie Roden, President, Coalition for Women's Cancers; and Christina Strassfield, Executive Director, Southampton Arts Center.
