Those who plan on attending are encouraged to bring both non-perishable food items and new unwrapped toys; Long Island Cares estimates there are over 300,000 Long Islanders hungry – which includes nearly 118,000 children. Approximately 283,700 people on Long Island receive emergency food each year – that’s 64,900 people every week, and Children who are hungry are more likely than their peers to experience behavioral issues, reduced ability to learn social skills and impaired cognitive learning – even permanent brain damage.
“It’s always important to give back to the community, but at this time of season I find it to be especially necessary to make sure we don’t forget those less fortunate than ourselves.” said Guy Brogna, Owner of All Music Inc., which provides instrument repairs, instrument rentals and sales, or music lessons to Long Island musicians. “That’s why we are extremely excited to be working with LI Cares on this event, to try and make a real difference this year”.
