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, a cocktail party-style benefit, will be held at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury and supports the Melville-based food bank, which aims 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, a scenario that can be troubling on Long Island, where the cost of living is already high.
