Donations 3x Matched!
We are excited to announce that in honor of Harry Chapin’s Birthday, the foundations are extending the match! Now until Dec. 31st you can help 3X as Many Neighbors Facing Hunger.
We are grateful for these local foundations and hope that you will consider a gift.
Happy Birthday, Harry! Thank you for your vision, which continues to bring hope to so many when they need it most.
We know he would have loved to see his community and all those dedicated to fighting hunger come together to make a lasting difference in the lives of those in need.
How you can help your neighbors on Long Island
Your $10 can provide 18 meals to a family in need!
Usually, $10 helps us provide 6 meals, but thanks to a generous match from some local families, every dollar you give will go three times as far. That means more support our neighbors on Long Island—and a tripled impact up to $300,000!
The impact of your gift
Meet Tamira, a single mother of two daughters who recently became disabled, making it impossible for her to work. During this challenging time, she depends on Long Island Cares to help keep food on the table while she focuses on her own health and caring for her daughters.
“Getting food from Long Island Cares allows me to take care of my children in a way that they deserve.”
