To make a difference during Hunger Action Month
Welcome to Hunger Action Month!
Hunger Action Month aims to raise awareness of food insecurity and invites the public to take action to feed those in need. Join us in this month-long celebration of hope and solidarity. Together, we can change the trajectory of countless futures and help ensure that no one on Long Island goes to bed hungry.
Let’s rally together, amplify our voices, and take meaningful actions to end hunger in our community.
“I try to move money around to buy food for my kids, but I’m running out of options, and I’m never sure how much longer we’ve got. But thankfully, I have Long Island Cares to help me get through it.” – Tom from Huntington
