Caring for Others During the Holiday Season

  Porteck Donates Over 500 Pounds of Food to Island Harvest!

      From November 3 to December 1, 2014, the Porteck Revenue Cycle Management Corporation conducted their first Annual Thanksgiving Holiday Food Drive. During this period Porteck employees and their families donated hundreds of non-perishable food items, which will help support the Island Harvest Food Bank. Aer Lingus , partnered with Porteck and also contributed to this worthy cause.
      On December 3, representatives from Island Harvest were on hand to not only pick up the overflowing boxes of food items, but to thank Porteck for their dedication to the community and the Island Harvest Food Bank. Porteck’s first food drive resulted in 500 pounds of food collected!
      “Island Harvest is exceptionally grateful for Porteck’s generous donation,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “Their efforts will help us provide food to those in need on Long Island.”

  ABOUT ISLAND HARVEST
      Island Harvest was created in 1992 by one woman with a cooler, a station wagon, and a strong desire to help people in need. Linda Breitstone, their founder, was infuriated that food from a local convenience store was being thrown away at the end of the day – with a safe house for women and children down the street. In response, she established Island Harvest and their mission, “to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island.”
      Since those early days, Island Harvest has become Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization. Their volunteers and staff now deliver millions of pounds of good, surplus food – much of which might otherwise go to waste – to a network of 570 Long Island-based food pantries, soup kitchens and other nonprofit organization that offer feeding services for those in need.

By doing this, they provide a vital supply of food to counter the sharply rising problem of hunger here.
      By aggressively recruiting more businesses and members of the public to donate food and pioneering innovative distribution methods, they have increased the volume of food we pick up and deliver by 2.5 times since 2002. Since their inception, they have delivered 71 million pounds of food, supplementing close to 66 million meals. Hunger awareness and education have long been a part of their programs, as they develop and strengthen key allies in their community.

      In recent years, they have begun to attack hunger in targeted and strategic ways. The most visible example of this is their Weekend Backpack Feeding Program.
      Piloted in 2006, this initiative provides 35,000+ packs of nutritious food to schoolchildren who rely on school lunches and breakfasts and may not receive solid meals on weekends. To learn more visit www.islandharvest.org.
