Grassi Gives Back: Long Island Cares

Long Island Cares is Long Island’s first food bank.

Founded in 1980 by singer-songwriter and activist, Harry Chapin, our organization is dedicated to serving Long Island’s hungry and food insecure populations.

Long Island Cares is one of almost 200 food banks across America that provides food to people impacted by hunger and food insecurity. When founded, Long Island Cares served a mere handful of agencies in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, but today, it distributes more than ten million pounds of food and supplies annually to nearly 400 member agencies in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and operates 5 satellite offices, plus our main office and warehouse in Hauppauge.

On Friday, June 26th, Grassi volunteers will participate at the Long Island Cares warehouse where volunteers will sort and pack donated food.

Volunteer Maximum: 12 participants
