The Village of Sidney is putting those extra supplies purchased in preparation for Hurricane Sandy to good use.

Car loads of excess emergency supplies were unloaded at a home in Sidney on Tuesday. Those emergency supplies will be sent as relief to others in New York affected by Sandy.

Oneonta resident Sue Darling initially posted a request for supplies on Facebook to help those hard hit in the NYC area.

The response was overwhelming and a friend in Sidney offered her garage for a drop off site.
