LONG ISLAND CARES, INC.
THE HARRY CHAPIN FOOD BANK IS ROLLING OUT SOMETHING NEW
AT 10:30 AM ON TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 2010, THAT WE THINK
YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO SEE
We've all read the stories and
heard the reports about the increase in the number of
Long Islanders turning to pantries and soup kitchens for
assistance. We also know that government funding for
hunger relief is being cut across New York State and in
Washington at a time
when MORE
people need our help.
 Now, with
the support of private contributions, Long Island Cares
will roll out an innovative concept to provide MORE
to those on Long Island that have less.
MORE
information to follow shortly.
