For the second time in two months, this past Saturday, Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Howard Beach) and Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., in conjunction with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, hosted a hugely successful rain barrel giveaway at the New York Families for Autistic Children Building in Howard Beach.

“Rain barrels are one of those amazing free resources,” said Pheffer Amato. “You save money on your water bill whenever you wash your car or water your lawn. It was such a pleasure doing these events with Senator Addabbo and the folks from the EDC, and I want to thank everyone involved. Together, we’ve made sure that hundreds of our neighbors can help the planet and their pocketbooks at the same time. We look forward to doing many more of these giveaways in the future!”
