Island Harvest to Honor Amazon at 'Taste of the Harvest'
Island Harvest will honor Amazon at Taste of the Harvest on Oct. 21 for major donations and support in fighting hunger on Long Island.
The event, held at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, is a cocktail party-style benefit that supports the Melville-based food bank, which aims to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island.
The event features food and desserts from some of the region's best-known restaurants, caterers, and country clubs, including:
- Lessing's Hospitality Group, including Sandbar, Mirabelle, View, and Bayberry
- Opus by Anthony Scotto
- Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace
- AG Steakhouse
- Plado
- Nissequogue Golf Club
- Naya
This year's event comes 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.
