One of the local organizations that really stands out to us is Community Solidarity. They rescue food waste from grocery stores around Long Island and then organize "shares" where people (regardless of economic status) can get the food they need. They help provide many families with groceries.

The organization is run by President/ CEO John Stepanian. In his own words, he aims to: Create long-term solutions to end poverty; by developing community inter-dependence, promoting a balanced nutritious diet and fighting for social justice.
