We all know that food prices are very high, but please count your blessings and take up the challenge to fill up a box for a family less fortunate than yours with the suggested items on the attached page. While you are working on your family box, ask your relatives, neighbors, and friends to join us in our efforts to support Island Harvest and the people they serve across Long Island. (More)
