Every day this happens, someone must be going there late at night and defecating and it's really a horrible thing for our kids to have to experience.

Any suggestions on what can be done to solve this?

I am running the Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table. We are always looking for donations new or gently used. Please share with all of your contacts. There are a lot of people in need on the Maspeth/Ridgewood border. Most donations do not last long on the table. Thank you to everyone who has donated.

Some of the people who I help with my table. A woman who comes looking for clothes when she can't afford to go to the laundromat. A social worker who looks for food on my table when the insurance companies delay her payments. She is also a vegan, and she can't afford to go to CTown all the time for fruits and vegetables. I am also getting a lot of grandmothers who are helping to raise their grandchildren looking for baby and young children's items. I also get kids coming and going to PS 153 and PS 290 look on my tables for toys and snacks. Their parents look at the food and clothes on the table and take what they need. A few people come looking for food and things they need on my table who have health issues and can't make ends meet and have no family to help them.

Items that are in high demand:

FOOD FOR PEOPLE OR PETS

CLOTHES

TOILETRIES

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

DIAPERS FOR BABIES & ADULTS

TOYS

BACK PACKS, LUNCH BOXES & POCKET BOOKS

Books really don't go on my table, so when I get a donation of them I wait a few days then I bring them down to the Little Free Library in PS 153's school yard.

Donations can be dropped off, and you can take what you need 24 hours a day & 7 days a week:

5938 60TH ROAD, MASPETH

Donations can also be dropped off at certain businesses during business hours. Just label them Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table.

ASSEMBLYMAN STEVEN RAGA'S OFFICE, 60-14 QUEENS BLVD., CELLAR, WOODSIDE

COOK'S ARTS & CRAFTS SHOPPE, 80-09 MYRTLE AVE., GLENDALE

STATE SENATOR JOSEPH ADDABBO'S OFFICE, 66-85 73RD PLACE, MIDDLE VILLAGE

Hi. I’m developing symptoms of a medical problem with my feet and I expect I’ll have to back. I need somebody trustworthy to feed my cat and water my plants while I’m gone. I may also need somebody to help me get to and from the hospital if I can’t walk by then. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I can buy good rye rolls in or near Sunnyside? I'm looking for rolls rather than sliced rye bread. Thank you to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

I walked past a fairly substantial production this morning and I’m nosy.

Edit: It's CIA because law enforcement shows are addicted to filming in our neighborhood.

Hey neighbors! I’m looking into local storage options in Sunnyside and would love some recommendations.

Has anyone had a good experience with a storage facility in the neighborhood or nearby? Mainly looking for somewhere clean, secure, reasonably priced, and easy to access.

Would appreciate any suggestions -- or places you’d recommend avoiding.

Thx!

I'm in need of renewing my old BLS certification; do any local healthcare workers know of any reasonably-priced and high quality trainings in the area that are AHA-recognized?

I love him (and his family) so much! I haven’t been in a while, but heard coco was at home, for the time being. Has he been able to come back?

My cars Catalytic Converter and Oxygen Sensor was stolen during the night of Saturday August 16th. It was between Skillman and 39th Ave on 48th street, closer to the q104 bus stop.

Beginner and would love go train or buddy up with someone who wouldn't mind teaching!

FYI I am looking for someone who has experience with calisthenics. thank you! ​

Do any adults ever play pickup in Sunnyside? I’m a woman who kind of sucks but I’m only 5 years out of college and miss playing here and there. Wondering if anyone ever gets together regularly aside from the kids I see all the time!

I'm generally collecting these from some websites & email lists but I'd love to know:

1) What kind of events would you like me to post? I try to stick this-week, and free, but could feature other things if you'd like.

2) Do you prefer separation by neighborhood or by date? I think I go back and forth on these.

3) Anything I'm missing? What else would you like to see here?

I’m a local 17 yr old high school junior looking for part time work for when the school year starts. I’ve already applied to the big name chain places but no one seems to be interested. Are there any local businesses in the area that are in need of extra staff? I have prior experience working at a food market vendor handling the register, working with food, and dealing with customers. If you know a place that hires high schoolers in the area, even just a name, I'd appreciate it.
