Food insecurity is a major issue across Long Island, including here on the East End. In recognition of Hunger Action Day, we present a special edition of WLIW-FM’s In Conversation. Gianna Volpe, host of Heart of the East End, speaks with Paule Pachter of Long Island Cares and Holly Reichert-Wheaton of Springs Food Pantry in two back-to-back interviews about this important topic. They each share their perspectives on the reality of food insecurity and what each of their charitable organizations do to alleviate the stress of hunger for thousands of families across Suffolk County.
