Long Island Cares’ mission is to provide nutritious, culturally relevant food to 230,000 food-insecure Long Islanders (including 68,000 children) and combat the root causes of hunger. It distributes more than 10 million pounds of food annually to more than 300 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior-living facilities, homeless camps and more across Long Island. Food is also distributed at five Long Island Cares’ satellite locations, targeting each area’s food-insecure communities. As Harry Chapin said, “To know is to care, to care is to act, to act is to make a difference.”
