Tell Us Your Harry Chapin Story
Help Us Celebrate His Legacy
Do you have a memory of Harry Chapin that’s stayed with you? Maybe it was a concert, a conversation, a song that moved you—or the moment you first learned how deeply he cared about ending hunger.
Long Island Cares was born from Harry’s vision and passion in 1980, and every July, we honor him during Harry Chapin Month. This year, we’re asking you to help us tell his story—through yours.
If Harry inspired you, we’d love for you to share your personal story or memory. Whether it’s a few sentences or a heartfelt reflection, your submission will help keep his spirit alive. Some stories will be featured on our website, social media, and more throughout the month.
