With a crippling winter storm hanging in the balance, Island Harvest Food Bank, Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization, is partnering with the American Red Cross to provide storm-related emergency food services to Long Island residents. 

In regard to extreme weather, preparedness can make the difference between life and death. Island Harvest is urging Long Islanders to take the necessary action steps to prepare and remain safe during the upcoming storm. In addition, Island Harvest is available as a resource to assist the Offices of Emergency Management in Nassau and Suffolk counties should the need arise.

“Island Harvest is advising Long Islanders to prepare for the storm, heed warnings, stay up-to-date on weather reports and avoid unnecessary travel,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO of Island Harvest. “As a disaster relief organization, Island Harvest is standing at the ready to assist American Red Cross in anyway necessary during this weather emergency.”
