In March, we had over 600 visits to the food pantry and registered 39 new customers. Our groceries provided nearly 20,000 meals for local families.

The food pantry has remained open for the last 42 years only because of our generous and loyal supporters. We cannot tell you how grateful we are for your help providing for our neighbors in need!

Every $1 donated enables us to continue to feed our most vulnerable community members.

Our Assistance Program provides a safety net for local families and individuals who are struggling to make ends meet. In March we provided emergency financial support for 26 families. Here are a few expenses we covered that demonstrate the impact this program makes on people's lives: 

  • Paid for cremation expenses for a food pantry customer whos only living relative is a senior battling cancer

  • Provided a safety net for a young family while they struggled through a difficult time. We covered rent, food, a car repair and helped make arrangements for them to move to a more affordable area where they have family support

  • Helped a senior with cancer receive social security, food stamps and provided him with gas cards, grocery cards and food

  • Paid a month’s rent for a single mother with a sick adult son that is requiring her full time care

  • Repaired a septic tank for a single father of two children

Heart of the Hamptons gets a new home! Thank you to Southampton Village Mayor Jesse Warren and the Board of Trustees for leasing 44 Meeting House Lane and approving our application to operate in this new space!

We still need to receive building permits and undergo a renovation in order to make this dream a reality but this was a big step forward in getting there!

If you want to show your commitment to those in need by creating a legacy for your family at our new home, email molly@heartofthehamptons.org to discuss available options.
