After a long wait — and several complications — Heart of the Hamptons, the community nonprofit food pantry that also provides other services to families in need, has moved from its long-time home in the basement of Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Roman Catholic Church on Hill Street into its new headquarters in the old ambulance barn on Meeting House Lane in Southampton Village. Heart of the Hamptons Executive Director Molly Bishop talks with the editors about the pantry’s mission, the big move and a new distribution location​​​​​​​that was added at the Stony Brook Southampton campus a little more than a month ago.

Thanks to a $125,000 grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, the East Hampton Historical Society has launched a new “augmented reality” app at Mulford Farm that gives users an interactive way to learn about the history of the American Revolution. The app, 1776AR, features a 3D avatar of Hugh King, the East Hampton Town and Village historian, sharing the history of the Mulford family before, during and after the American Revolution. Stephen Long, the executive director of the Historical Society, and King joined the editors to talk about the new app and its mission.

Since 1974, the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, also known as ARF, has placed over 30,000 cats and dogs with loving families across Long Island and beyond, changing their lives one connection at a time, according to Kim Nichols, ARF's executive director and CEO. Nichols joins the editors on 27Speaks to talk about ARF's work and the nonprofit's 50th anniversary.

As far as Anita Fuellbier is concerned, Stage 4 lung cancer picked the wrong body. She is a fighter. She takes risks. She has fierce love for her two daughters, her job and her place in her community. And she is currently six months into her projected year and a half to live — though, following an experimental clinical trial, that timeline may have shifted. Anita joins the editors on 27Speaks this week to discuss her cancer journey and share her positive outlook.
