Long Island Cares – The Harry Chapin Food Bank (LIC) was founded in 1980 by the late singer, songwriter, and social justice activist Harry Chapin. A passionate advocate for ending hunger, Chapin used his platform and music to draw national attention to food insecurity and was instrumental in shaping public awareness and policy. His legacy lives on through Long Island Cares, which remains rooted in his vision that no one should go hungry in our communities.

The President & CEO of Long Island Cares provides visionary leadership and ensures the effective implementation of the organization's mission: to combat hunger and meet the humanitarian needs of communities across Long Island.
