This Thanksgiving Makers Nutrition wanted to do something great for the Long Island community. That is why the company donated an abundance of non-perishable foods, as well as baby essentials, pet supplies, household items, and toiletries. Their in-house food drive was a successful effort in gathering goods for many neighboring families and individuals in need of a helping hand this holiday
“We are thrilled to be donating to Long Island Cares, which is an essential organization that serves as the solid foundation for making a direct impact on lives,” said Director of Multimedia Marketing Rosemary Tambini. “While we collected many items to create a Thanksgiving like no other for our fellow Long Islanders, it is Long Island Cares that deserves recognition for all of their hard work in feeding people who could be right next door.”
Founded in 1980 by Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter and social activist Harry Chapin, Long Island Cares’ mission is to provide nutritious, culturally relevant food to 221,000 food-insecure Long Islanders (including 65,000 children) and attack the root causes of hunger. The organization annually distributes more than 10 million pounds of food to 325 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior living facilities, homeless camps and more. Food is also distributed at its five food pantry locations, targeting each area’s underserved communities. As Harry Chapin once said, “To know is to care, to care is to act, to act is to make a difference.” Long Island Cares exists to make those words a reality.
