A regular and healthy diet is so important to living a full and productive life. Food is a basic and fundamental necessity, without it you can not think, act, do or contribute effectively. Lend a hand, consider supporting a cause that feeds the hungry, educates them and helps to raise people so they can in turn help others.
In the interest of sharing and helping to raise awareness, below is some information about Long Island cares from thier website:
- Founded in 1980 by the late singer, songwriter and social activist, Harry Chapin, our organization provides nutritional food and support services for a network of more than 540 community-based member agencies including food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, child care programs, disability organizations, veterans services and more. While the annual distribution of nearly 6 million pounds of nutritional food warehoused in our 27,000 square foot Distribution Center is at the heart of Long Island Cares’ operations, we function as more than just a food bank.
Long Island Cares provides a broad array of programs and services including hunger education, job training, supplemental food programs for children, school supplies, job development, legislative advocacy, and a triage food pantry. As you navigate your way through our website you will have numerous opportunities to learn more about our organization and its mission. You will meet our legendary founder, our dedicated board of directors, and our talented staff. You will learn a great deal about hunger on Long Island and have an opportunity to help us in our fight against hunger. You can review our annual report, download a copy of our agency brochure, find out where Long Island Cares is conducting a food drive, and make a secure online donation in support of our efforts.
