What puts a family at risk of hunger?

All it takes is ONE...

ONE major car repair...ONE medical emergency...

The risk of hunger is only one crisis away

Many of our neighbors on Long Island are just one crisis away from facing hunger. The rising cost of living puts more stress on hardworking people experiencing challenging times. Every $10 you give helps provide food for 6 meals. 

Meet Lamont. 

Lamont worked hard at a cable company to give his family a good life. They had everything — a house, cars, even boats — until a work accident changed everything. A cable pierced his eye, leaving him unable to work.

After the accident, Lamont received workman’s compensation, but it wasn’t enough to feed his family. Eventually, his wife convinced him to go to a local food pantry with her. He feared judgment, but the kindness he received changed his life.

Soon, Lamont started volunteering at the pantry and then got a job there. He is now in charge of a program that works with families to break the cycle of poverty.

Success stories like Lamont’s stand as a testament to the power of support from friends like you.

Thank you for considering a gift today to help families like Lamont’s.
