Great South Bay Music Festival

Commitment to Our Community

As part of the Great South Bay Music Festival’s commitment to Community Support & Philanthropy, Great South Bay will donate vendor space to no less than six local charitable organizations to raise awareness and funds for their causes.

Great South Bay is proud to partner with Long Island Cares, the legendary Harry Chapin Food Bank, who’s mission is to bring together all available resources for the benefit of the hungry, and to supply emergency food where and when it is needed.

Long Island Cares provides a broad array of programs and services including hunger education, job training, supplemental food programs for children, school supplies, job development, legislative advocacy, and a triage food pantry. As you navigate your way through our website you will have numerous opportunities to learn more about our organization and its mission. You will meet our legendary founder, our dedicated board of directors, and our talented staff. You will learn a great deal about hunger on Long Island and have an opportunity to help us in our fight against hunger. You can review our annual report, download a copy of our agency brochure, find out where Long Island Cares is conducting a food drive, and make a secure online donation to support of our efforts.

LI Cares feeds over 240,000 needy families on Long Island.
Please help by bringing even just one non-perishable food item to the fest.
