Long Island Food Critic

A perennial favorite fundraiser among foodies and those passionate about addressing the critical issue of hunger on Long Island, Island Harvest Food Bank held their 24th Annual Taste of the Harvest Celebration on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at the exquisite Crest Hollow Country Club.

Island Harvest is the largest hunger relief organization on Long Island. They rely on their generous volunteers, in-kind services and donated food and 95 cents of every dollar contributed goes directly to the benefit of their programs. Since their birth in 1992, Island Harvest has distributed over 80 million pounds of food to those in need across Long Island.

The Taste of the Harvest Celebration was an atypical fundraising dinner where an array of Long Island's finest restaurants, caterers, country clubs and other outstanding food establishments unite to offer guests a sumptuous evening of sampling a wide-variety of gourmet food and desserts — all to help raise much needed funds for Island Harvest to continue to provide food and related support to more than 300,000 Long Islanders who struggle with hunger every day.

Louis Biscotti, CPA Partner, Global Food and Beverage Practice Leader of Mazars USA
and New York Community Bank, were honored at this year's Taste of the Harvest Celebration for its generous funding of hunger-relief efforts on Long Island. They are dedicated to assisting those less fortunate improve their lives.
