Long Island’s Foremost Food Bank has a true friend and supporter in DPA.

 

If you live on Long Island, you’re familiar with the name. Founded as the first food bank on Long Island, New York, in 1980 by the late singer, Grammy Award-winning songwriter and social activist Harry Chapin, L.I. Cares currently provides nutritional food and support services for a network of more than 580 community-based member agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, child care programs, disability organizations, veterans’ services programs and more.

One of the region’s most comprehensive hunger-assistance organizations, L.I. Cares distributes more than 6,000,000 pounds of food annually, but its scope of social services make this “go-to” organization so much more than a food bank. Their outreach programs touch virtually every segment of our local population that may need personal guidance, encouragement or, simply, a helping hand. L.I. Care’s range of specialized-care programs include:

Donation Processors Alliance is proud, and privileged, to support the critical work of this important, life-sustaining organization. Over the past twenty years our bond, and our commitment, has been strengthened, as we’ve seen, first hand, how struggling Long Islanders have benefitted from their services… and your generosity. Our efforts and goals can only be achieved through the ongoing donations we receive from charitable friends and neighbors. The response has been heartwarming. As the name suggests… Long Island does care.
