Long Island Cares

Long Island Cares Long Island’s First Food Bank and comprehensive hunger assistance organization Please take your time as you navigate through our website.

While the annual distribution of nearly 6 million pounds

of nutritional food warehoused in our 27,000 square foot Distribution Center is at the heart of Long Island Cares’ operations, we function as more than just a food bank. Long Island Cares provides a broad array of programs and services including hunger education, job training, supplemental food programs for children, school supplies, job development, legislative advocacy, and a triage food pantry. If you visit our website at www.licares.org, you will have numerous opportunities to learn more about our organization and its mission.

You will learn a great deal about hunger on Long Island and have an opportunity to help us in our fight against hunger.
