As part of Hunger Action Month and in response to the significant surge in demand for emergency food assistance over the past year, Macy's conducted their first Come Together Campaign and their Annual Shop for A Cause program which together resulted in donations totaling almost $29,000 for Long Island Cares.

 

The Come Together Campaign encouraged consumers to host special dinners in their homes with guests donating to their local food bank in lieu of bringing the traditional hostess gift.  Macy's matched dollar for dollar all donations made.  In addition, Macy's hosted its Fourth Annual Shop For A Cause Day providing discount shopping passes for charities to sell, with 100% of the sales proceeds going to the specific organization.

 

"We were extremely excited to partner with Macy's on these two campaigns and are grateful to them and their loyal customers for their commitment to helping the hungry on Long Island," said Robin Amato, Director of Development and Communications of Long Island Cares.  "No one should ever go hungry and it is because of generous and engaged corporate donors like Macy's that we are able to support the 287,000 Long Islanders who are in need."
