Harry Chapin Food Bank

As the holidays approach, a fund-raising drive for Long Island Cares — The Harry Chapin Food Bank, its second such, has begun. This year’s drive honors the late Jack Morelli of Amagansett.

Mr. Morelli, who died last year, was, like Harry Chapin, a musician, as well as a cook who loved to make and share meals.

Tax-deductible donations in his honor, with his name noted on checks, may be sent by mail to Long Island Cares at 10 Davids Drive (Harry Chapin Way), Hauppauge 11788. Donations may also be dropped off at the One Stop Market in East Hampton, where Bill Hall, the owner and a friend of Mr. Morelli, is making a collection.

Mr. Morelli’s daughter, Janae Anderson of Gallatin, Tenn., said this week that the fund drive would continue through Dec. 10, helping the food bank to provide groceries to those in need throughout the holiday season.
