​

As Events Coordinator for Springs Food Pantry, Amy plays a key role in organizing the Pantry’s fundraising events and community outreach efforts, while also volunteering with food distribution. She is passionate about raising awareness of food insecurity and the financial pressures faced by many working families in Springs and across East Hampton. As Amy says, “Helping those in need is more than an act of kindness—it is a shared responsibility. We may not be able to repair everything that's broken in the world, but together, we can repair what's broken in our own backyard.”
