As Thanksgiving and the winter holidays close in, there is an increased focus on feeding the hungry. But hunger is not seasonal. Every day families in our area struggle to put food on the table. Island Harvest is a food bank who is at the forefront of battling food insecurity year-round.
Over the years, Islip.TV has featured Island Harvest's work in the news. This year Grants Specialist Theresa Statz-Smith reached out to Waldo Cabrera asking for pro-bono assistance in completing a PSA that the Island Harvest team envisioned. In a matter of days, the script was refined, and we arranged to record in Island Harvest's Farm in Brentwood, at the Northport VA and at the Island Harvest Warehouse.
To put the finishing touch came when radio personality and voice over actor Cindy Clifford lent her voice talent to the project.
"I stared telling stories on Islip.TV with the purpose of highlighting the people making positive change in our community. I am proud to provide our video talent to such a worthwhile organization like Island Harvest" says Islip.TV President Waldo Cabrera, ”I wish them great success fundraising this holiday season.”
