So friends of CAST are asking for your help. And we need it now.
The COVID-19 outbreak presents our North Fork community with a real crisis. The safety net that CAST (Community Action Southold Town) has provided since 1965 has been stressed to its limits.
Together we can help keep the CAST food pantry stocked with food products that they need. The support of our entire community is more important than ever. Happily we found a way to make it very easy for you to help from the safety of your own home.
YES, donating non-perishable food staples is simple! Click on SHOP NOW to select goods to donate. You will be emailed a tax receipt at the time of purchase. All products ordered online will be shipped directly to CAST to restock their shelves.
We know our 1000 lb goal is a big one, but with your help we know we can accomplish it! Do forward this request with your friends and if you are able, come back to donate again.
CAST has been struggling to keep up with the weekly demand for basic food necessities, over the last few weeks the need has quintupled and will likely continue to grow as so many people are newly out of work for the foreseeable future. Families who depend on school meals are really struggling to feed their children at home everyday.
Helping families survive the impact of COVID-19 is our goal. Your donation directly helps CAST serve our needy neighbors and you are also making an investment in the recovery and long-term well being of our North Fork community.
Thank you so much.
