North Hempstead residents without power can find some relief in Superstorm Sandy's aftermath, thanks to three comfort stations that will open within the town on Saturday.
“The town’s Comfort Stations offer a place to get out of the cold and into an indoor heated environment,” Supervisor Jon Kaiman said, in a statement. “Those still without power are in need of some basic necessities; the ability to charge a cell phone or computer, access the internet, or even just take a hot shower can go a long way right now.”
North Hempstead Comfort Stations will offer residents heated indoor locations to charge their electronic devices, access free Wi-Fi, and take a hot shower.
The following Comfort Stations will begin opening Saturday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

1801 Evergreen Avenue
