Island Harvest: The Great Long Island Commuter Food Drive
Wednesdays in September (Sept. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30)
This September, Hunger Action Month–Island Harvest is proud to work with the Long Island Rail Road and Long Island Cares on a major food drive to help our many neighbors struggling through this deep recession. We need volunteers to encourage food donations from commuters, collect food, and help to bring it to a local warehouse (Uniondale/Holbrook). Island Harvest and Long Island Cares will deliver these products to food pantries and other food programs throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties where those who need it can get it.
Each Wednesday in September, teams of Island Harvest volunteers will staff select stations between 5:30 am and 12:00 noon. The 11 stations are as follows: Hicksville, Huntington, Long Beach, Manhasset, Massapequa, Mineola, Port Jefferson, Rockville Centre, Ronkonkoma, Syosset and Valley Stream.
