Island Harvest will honor Amazon at 'Taste of the Harvest' on October 21 for its major donations and support in fighting hunger on Long Island.
The event, held at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, is a cocktail party-style benefit that supports the Melville-based food bank in its mission to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island.
This year's event is particularly significant, as it takes place amid federal funding cuts and a government shutdown that threatens paychecks and puts hunger-relief programs at risk, exacerbating the already high cost of living on Long Island.
