Makers Nutrition has once again partnered with Island Harvest Food Bank to support Long Island families in need during the Thanksgiving season. Through an in-house food drive, the company collected and donated non-perishable food and household items to help combat hunger, especially for the 221,000 Long Islanders, including 45,000 children, who face food insecurity. This marks Makers Nutrition's fifth contribution to Island Harvest, reinforcing their dedication to giving back and encouraging other local businesses to make a difference.
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Makers Nutrition has donated both non-perishable food favorites and useful household items to Island Harvest Food Bank in an effort to make Thanksgiving more comfortable for some Long Island families.
Astounded at the statistic that 221,000 Long Islanders, including 45,000 children, don't know when their next meal will be, the Makers Nutrition team decided to hold an in-house food drive to collect as many goods as possible. And that they did!
Island Harvest Food Bank has helped and continues to help change lives and the Long Island community by working to end hunger. With so many families, parents, and individuals facing challenging times, this food bank is exactly the kind of organization Makers Nutrition wanted to promote and donate to, knowing that necessities would go directly to those in need.
"This year, we are trying to have a significant impact on people close to home," said Director of Sales Tom Corr. "And who better than Island Harvest to facilitate delivering these items to the people who need them most? It is wonderful knowing that Island Harvest is out there every day making a difference, and we are thrilled to be able to give what we can to take part in making that difference."
This is Makers Nutrition's fifth time to Island Harvest Food Bank, and the company encourages all local companies to donate what they can. Any amount matters and can make for a happier holiday for so many.
