Instacart’s Community Cart Program

Instacart’s Community Cart Program

Giving Made Simple.

We’ve partnered with Instacart to make donating easier than ever. Through Community Carts, you can shop our most-needed items online and have them delivered directly to Long Island Cares—no drop-off required.

With just a few taps, you can help provide real food, real relief, and real hope to neighbors in need.

How It Works

• Shop Our List: Open our Community Cart to view the items our food bank needs most
• Donate from Home: Add items to your cart and check out—Instacart waives delivery and service fees on these orders.
• Direct to Our Shelves: Instacart shoppers deliver your donation straight to Long Island Cares, helping stock our pantry quickly and efficiently.

Support Long Island Cares

Every item contributed through Community Carts supports our neighbors right here on Long Island.
No drop-offs, no coordination—just meaningful impact made simple.

Why It Matters

Community Carts allows supporters to donate exactly what is needed, when it’s needed.
Your donation helps ensure that families, children, seniors, and pets across Long Island have access to nourishing food and essentials—especially during times of increased need.

Your support brings dignity, relief, and hope to families in our community.
Thank you for helping feed Long Island—one cart at a time.
