Food pantries

CRDLI (Community Resources Database of Long Island) has long lists of food pantries and soup kitchens and how to donate to them. The need is great.

Another list concentrating on the Coram/Patchogue/Middle Island area, and specifying eligibility.

It bothers me a great deal as to how many people in this world are starving and then how much food is wasted AND how many people are obviously overeating ......

our church community carol sing is this friday and the flyers were sent to each home to bring a donation for our food pantry. I have never seen that in my town in all my years so there is a big need everywhere

There certainly is. I worked a couple of days in the food pantry my church operates along with 6 other churches (last year), and I was surprised to see some of the "customers" arriving in newish SUVs. You can never tell who's hurting.
