Long Island Cares

Long Island Cares – The Harry Chapin Food Bank has been on a mission to feed Long Island’s food insecure and stamp out the root causes of hunger since our founding by the late Harry Chapin in 1980. To help achieve our goals, we are guided by six principles:

• Leadership
• Innovation
• Collaboration
• Accountability
• Respect
• Empowerment
• Stewardship

By adhering to these principles, in 2021, we distributed 14 million pounds of food – the equivalent of 11.5 million meals. But the work is not done, and Long Island Cares is committed to serving Long Island as long as the need is great.
