“It is gratifying for me and the GDGC staff to have this opportunity to give hands on help to those on LI who are in need,” says Jennifer Cona, Esq., managing partner, GDGC.
The INN was founded in 1983 as a single soup kitchen run by a small group of volunteers. The volunteers discovered that there were large numbers of hungry and homeless people on Long Island. They formed an interfaith network of soup kitchens, opening kitchens in Hempstead, Long Beach, Freeport and Central Islip. Today, there are a total of 19 soup kitchens operating as part of The INN’s network across Long Island. 400 people are served each day and more than 7,500 people are fed each week. They also offer supportive services including emergency and long-term housing.
