Founded in 1980 by Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter and social activist Harry Chapin, Long Island Cares’ mission is to provide nutritious, culturally relevant food to 221,000 food-insecure Long Islanders (including 65,000 children) and attack the root causes of hunger. The organization annually distributes more than 10 million pounds of food to 325 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior living facilities, homeless camps and more. Food is also distributed at its five food pantry locations, targeting each area’s underserved communities. As Harry Chapin once said, “To know is to care, to care is to act, to act is to make a difference.” Long Island Cares exists to make those words a reality.
