❄️ A legacy that keeps food fresh. Frederick McKinley Jones didn’t just invent portable refrigeration—he changed food distribution forever. His innovation made it possible to safely transport fresh food, impacting industries from healthcare to hunger relief. At Long Island Cares, we believe fresh food should be accessible to all—which is why we deliver nutritious produce through programs like our Farm Truck. Innovation that feeds. Impact that lasts. #BlackHistoryMonth #FoodAccess #InnovationThatFeeds #FrederickMcKinleyJones #LongIslandCares

🤝 Consistent Giving = Lasting Impact When a company gives once, it’s generosity. When they give again and again, it’s commitment. That’s why we’re grateful for Bombas, whose past donations of socks continue to make a difference. They’ve not only supported us with essentials, but they’ve also volunteered their time last week—proving that true impact comes from showing up, again and again. Thank you, Bombas, for leading with action. #CorporateSocialResponsibility #BombasGivesBack #SeasonOfGiving #CommunityImpact #LongIslandCares 

For many veterans, the transition to civilian life comes with unique challenges—from physical injuries to PTSD, making it harder to find stable employment. That’s why our Veterans Project exists. This program equips veterans with real job skills, resume coaching, and hands-on experience to help them regain stability. Because no veteran should struggle to afford food. Let’s ensure those who served our country have the resources they need to thrive.

🎶 Music isn’t just sound—it brings people together. Music was Harry Chapin’s gift to the world, but his greatest legacy lives on through Long Island Cares, the food bank he founded to fight food insecurity.

Because when we come together, whether through music or giving, we create a stronger, more compassionate community. Let’s keep the music going & the mission alive.
