Approximately 259,000 people on Long Island suffer from food insecurity and that includes 79,000 children. These numbers are just growing as we enter the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is where you can help. They may not be able to fill the Jazz Loft with people right now, but they can use the space to fill it with food!
