Grateful for the partnerships that turn purpose into impact. 🌟 Our recent donor event was a success thanks to ShopRite, who provided incredible food, and Long Island Tent & Party Rentals, who elevated our space with tables, chairs, and linens. When local businesses unite for a shared cause, it’s powerful—and together, we’re moving closer to a hunger-free Long Island. Thank you for supporting our mission! #CorporateGiving #CommunityPartners #EndHunger #LongIslandCares #SocialImpact #ThankYou #ShopRite #LongIslandTent

About us
Founded in 1980 by singer, Grammy winning songwriter and social activist Harry Chapin, Long Island Cares Inc. - The Harry Chapin Food Bank is recognized by both The Emergency Food Assistance Program of the USDA (TEFAP) and the NYS Department of Health, Hunger Prevention Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP) as the regional food bank for Long Island. At Long Island Cares, we understand that it takes more than food to feed the hungry. Therefore, in addition to supplying nutritious food for hungry and food insecure Long Islanders when and where needed, we sponsor a wide variety of innovate direct service programs that help families achieve self-sufficiency. These programs include, but are not limited to: veterans services such as our VetsWork employment program, Baxter's Pet Pantry, children's nutrition programs such as AsparaGus's Children's Breakfast Food Truck, the Kids Café Food and Afterschool Mentoring Program, and the Pack It Up for Kids weekend meal program, and a variety of mobile outreach and food distribution services to ensure that homeless Long Islanders, disabled veterans, senior citizens and other populations for whom travel is difficult receive the services and assistance they need. Long Island Cares is a member of Feeding America. We are a BBB accredited charity and recently received Charity Navigator’s highest 4-star rating for the sixth consecutive year. We are proud to carry on Harry's legacy of tireless advocacy and effort on behalf of hungry and food insecure Long Islanders.

Imagine starting your week with one lingering question: “How am I going to feed my family today?” For 221,000 individuals and 65,000 children on Long Island, that question is hauntingly familiar. Hunger isn’t just a distant crisis—it’s here, in our community. This Monday, let’s shift from imagining change to creating it. Every dollar, every share, every hour of your time strengthens our mission. Are you ready to make an impact? https://buff.ly/3Qn2jwi 🤝 #ImagineHunger #FoodInsecurity #CorporateSocialResponsibility #LongIslandCares #CommunityImpact #EndHunger

We know a meal is more than food – it’s fuel, it’s focus, it’s futures. With over 4,100 meals served at our Kids’ Café locations since school began, children on Long Island are finding the nourishment, support, and encouragement they need to excel. By partnering with community programs, we’re providing more than a meal – we’re giving children safe environments to study, play, and grow. 💚 #KidsCafe #AfterSchoolSuccess #FuelingFutureLeaders #CommunityImpact #LongIslandCares
