Long Island Cares is having a food drive from 9 a.m to 2 p.m. April 16 during the mall's 12th anual Easter Egg Hunt. Donations of non-perishable items are welcome.
Children from 3 to 9 are invited to join the hunt and search the mall for some 1,500 multi-colored eggs, filled with candy and toys, hidden in the mall's common area. After the hunt participants can meet the Easter Bunny, and enjoy face painting, balloon creations, and temporary tattoos.
Tickets are available for purchase beginning April 1 at Simon Guest Services - the event is limited to the first 150 children.
The cost is $5 per child, with all proceeds benefiting the Simon Youth Foundation.
Registration for the hunt starts at 8:30 a.m. and the event begins promptly at 9.
