Island Harvest on Long Island

Island Harvest is one of Long Islands largest hunger relief organizations. They work with people who have a surplus amount of food to those who have none. Volunteers and staff "rescue" or collect food from local residents, caterers, farms and other food related businesses. They then donate the food to soup kitchens, homeless shelters and other places where people can have easy access to it. Island Harvest also tries to educate people about the many people struggling with food shortages around the area and try to spread the word about their organization. If many people know about it, they would be willing to donate and helping with the hunger crises and maybe even end it on Long Island.

Recent studies have been done to show how many families are struggling with hunger on Long Island. The objective of Island Harvest was to see what kind of areas needed the most soup kitchens, food stamps, or other feeding programs.

There are many people suffering from hunger in many suburban areas. We can help them however by making money donations and/or food donations.
