Access to food and essential resources is a critical issue for people throughout Long Island, but how bad is it, really? The poverty rate is the highest it has been in more than 50 years, with approximately 197,000 people living below the national poverty line.

Being homeless is more than just living without a stable living environment; it also puts one’s emotional and physical well-being at risk. Our agency is committed to supporting programs that help the less fortunate obtain the means to lead healthy, productive lives. This quarter’s campaign focuses on spreading the word about the Lend a Hand group’s inspiring work in the community.

The Lend A Hand Project is a unique organization that enhances the lives of individuals and families in need on Long Island based upon the highest tenets of charitable giving. Its noble team of staff and volunteers has helped build personal connections with thousands of people in our community who are in need but have nowhere else to turn. It’s not enough to merely alleviate material hardships; instead, they must be linked to a supportive network that can break the vicious cycle of hopelessness by easing the financial demands of living while respecting the individual’s right to determine how those burdens are reduced.

Simply recommend friends and family to us for an insurance quotation, and we’ll donate $10 to help feed these families in need! Together, we can make a real difference – for everyone!
