It is the time of year to focus on what to be thankful for. We have much to be grateful for here at Logic Web Media, but we know that isn’t the case for everyone. So many families on Long Island need assistance, especially during the holidays. Our staff feels that it is necessary to help people in any way that we can. This year, we are proud to be a part of Long Island Cares Food Drive through the Harry Chapin Food Bank.

About Long Island Cares
The late Grammy winning songwriter and social activist Harry Chapin founded the food bank in 1980, making it the first on Long Island. The organization quickly spread and became Long Island Cares, offering not only food drives but programs of self sufficiency such as job training, veterans’ services, and mobile outreach. LIC is one of the east coast’s most comprehensive hunger assistance programs and serves thousands of families in need each year.

Know that you are not alone if you or members of your family need any assistance as the holidays approach. There are many resources available for you through Long Island Cares. Please know that help is available to you. You can find a list of locations that will help you right on the LIC website.
