Your time and talent are important resources in the fight against hunger.

We're glad you're interested in volunteering with us!  Island Harvest is the largest hunger relief organization on Long Island.  We rely on over 100,000 hours of annual service that volunteers provide to help us in our mission to end hunger and reduce food waste.  Your time and hard work make what we do possible, and you'll be helping many families in need.  Come by yourself, with your family, or with a group, and help us tackle hunger on Long Island.  Whether you're organizing food collections or helping in our offices, we have opportunities for you to have fun, increase team building and make a difference in your community!

Looking for a rewarding team building experience?  Island Harvest has projects for small and large groups whether you are affiliated with a community organization, school, or corporation.  Please contact our Volunteer and Community Relations Coordinator, Shannon Karafian, at volunteersupport@islandharvest.org or call us at 631-873-4775.
