Community Involvement

The Interfaith Nutrition Network

"Helping hungry and homeless Long Islanders in an atmosphere of dignity
and respect..."

MISSION STATEMENT: The Interfaith Nutrition Network addresses the issues of hunger and homelessness on Long Island by providing food, shelter, long-term housing and supportive services in a dignified and respectful manner for those who seek our help. We are a not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization with a dedicated staff, a broad base of community support and a commitment to educate the public about these issues.

Standard Funding and its personnel actively support The INN by volunteering in the soup kitchen, engaging in fundraising efforts and donating food and clothing to support the good works of The INN.

In August of 2009, Standard Funding sponsored a lunch at the Mary Brennan INN in Hempstead, NY, the largest soup kitchen on Long Island. At the soup kitchen, volunteers prepare and serve a hot lunch five days a week for 300-400 guests.

Standard Funding staff members joined the volunteers of the INN and helped serve lunch to over 430 guests. A copy of the menu for the meal we sponsored appears on this page.

We continue to conduct drives to collect clothing and toiletries for guests of the INN.
