Double the Meals, Double the Hope This Giving Tuesday 

Giving Tuesday is almost here—but you don’t have to wait to make a difference. Thanks to a $73,500 Leadership Circle Matching Gift Fund, every dollar you give now through December 2 will be doubled, providing twice the meals and twice the hope for Long Island families facing hunger. 

Your gift helps neighbors like: 

  • Tamira, a single mom managing debilitating arthritis while caring for her teenage daughter with medical needs. The nutritious groceries she receives from Long Island Cares allow her to focus on critical medical care instead of worrying about meals. 
  • Joan and Ken, a senior veteran couple. After Ken’s cancer diagnosis, they rely on Long Island Cares to provide meals, allowing them to focus their resources on his treatment and medications. 
  • Nancy, who relies on SNAP benefits that are barely enough to cover the basics. With Long Island Cares’ support, she can access enough food for her family while advocacy efforts push for increased benefits for everyone in need. 

Every donation today does more than fill plates—it provides security, dignity, and hope for families across Long Island. 

Just $10 provides 12 meals for someone like Tamira that to the match. Click the link below to give today and double your impact.
