One Island Giving Day is a one-day virtual event that aims to raise over $1 million dollars for local, Long Island-based nonprofits to help create a stronger Long Island for ALL Long Islanders.

The campaign is coordinated by The Hagedorn Foundation in partnership with area nonprofit organizations including EAC Network.

Once again, our
Fresh from the Garden

AARP volunteers joined staff and interns to distribute fresh produce provided by our organizational partner, Long Island Cares, to seniors at Magnolia Gardens in New Cassel, where there is little, difficult, or no access to nutritious foods. Thank you, AARP!
