2013 ANNUAL REPORT

People Helping PeopleLong Island Cares, Long Island’s first food bank, was founded in 1980 to address the need for emergency food services in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. With the support of many – a devoted board of directors, dedicated staff, generous financial donors, con-cerned food donors, valued volunteers, business and government partners – we work with our network of 590 member agencies to distribute emergency food, personal care items, school supplies, household supplies and other needed items to more than 320,000 food insecure Long Islanders. Food insecurity does not exist in a vacuum. It is interwoven with unemployment, mortgage foreclosure and poverty. Those experi-encing food insecurity are generally in need of other services as well.

That is why our motto is:

“ Because It Takes More Than Food to Feed the Hungry.”

Who Are They and Where Do They Come From?

Individuals and groups help out year-round in a variety of ways. Some come on a regular basis while some help as part of a special project or at a particular time of year. Thanks to all who help to make a difference by repacking and sorting donated food, filling orders, helping with mailings and special events, running food drives . . . and just pitching in to help their Long Island neighbors in need.
