Reading Time: < 1 minute

Long Island Cares, a prominent organization dedicated to fighting hunger in the region, has joined forces with State Farm in a collaborative effort to address food insecurity. State Farm has generously donated $34,000 to support Long Island Cares’ Mobile Food Pantry Program, which delivers essential items like nonperishable food, personal care products, household supplies, and pet food to high-risk, homebound individuals in need. This initiative also provides assessments for additional social services to those in need.

In another heartwarming story, 1-800-Flowers has taken a step towards promoting inclusive employment by empowering individuals of all abilities through its Smile Farms nonprofit. Participants from the From Tears to Cheers vocational program collaborated to create floral arrangements for a spring fling dance at the Center for Developmental Disabilities. These arrangements served as decorations for the event, and the group will continue their work by designing floral arrangements, boutonnieres, and corsages for the center’s upcoming prom.

Furthermore, the North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center recently hosted a successful spring luncheon at the Glen Head Country Club, raising an impressive $100,000 in support of its mental health programs. The event featured games, boutique shopping opportunities, and a moving speech from guest speaker Cindy Hsu, a CBS 2 News anchor and reporter, who shared her personal journey of overcoming depression and a suicide attempt.

Lastly, Chase organized a financial health event for students from the Wyandanch Union Free School District, where they collaborated with JPMorgan Chase mentors for a “Shark Tank” style business pitch competition. This event is part of a larger partnership aimed at promoting financial literacy among students, focusing on money management, spending habits, and investing for the future.
