Island Harvest

Description

Since 1992, Island Harvest has been serving as the bridge between those who have excess food and those who need it... a trained corps of dedicated volunteers rescues surplus food from commercial donors and collects canned and packaged foods from collection campaigns. This food is delivered to hudreds of community-based non-profit organizations, which results in a reduction of their food expenses; it is a morale booster to the employees and patrons of the 500+ commercial food establishments who donate their excess foods; and supports the prevention of nutritious food from becoming waste--a very tangible benefit to the environment. Most importantly, these food rescue efforts help to feed tens of thousands of men, women and children right here on Long Island.
