Asking for a friend in need;

Are there any food banks in Nassau county? Do you have to provide anything to get food through them?

Thanks!

The interfaith nutrition network is in Hempstead. Biggest soup kitchen on Long Island. They offer a ton of resources beyond feeding people. I definitely recommend giving them a call. Good luck!

Not trying to be a smart ass , have you tried googling it? Which would likely help better since you could narrow it down closer to the person needs it

You may also want to try Island Harvest

Here's a list from a few years ago from the LI Press[1] and Nassau County[2]. Here's a list (pdf) provided by NYU Winthrop Department of Community Education and Outreach[3]. I do not know if they are up to date. And sorry, I don't know what the requirements, if any are.
