I would like to correct the impression that there are no food pantries serving North Babylon ["North Babylon food pantry to open next month," News, Oct. 22].
Most of the 133 Catholic parishes in Nassau and Suffolk counties have food pantries that serve people in need, regardless of their religious affiliation. There are five in North Babylon.
Residents may contact the Catholic Charities Central Information and Referral Line at 516-733-7045.
