This past weekend, Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. joined the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to give away 240 rain barrels at New York Families for Autistic Children in Howard Beach. The Senator extended his thanks to Karen Ellis and DEP for partnering with him on this event as well as to Andrew Baumann, President of NYFAC, for helping out and allowing the use of his parking lot for the giveaway. Addabbo is planning to host additional rain barrel events around his district throughout the next several months, including one on June 18 at NYFAC.
