King Kullen, America's First Supermarket, recently donated more than
$100,000 worth of groceries to Island Harvest, Long Island's largest hunger
relief organization. King Kullen Vice President Thomas K. Cullen made the
announcement.
"King Kullen has a long history of helping the less fortunate in the
community," explained Cullen. "It's a tradition that goes back to my grand-father,
Michael J. Cullen, who founded King Kullen in 1930. We support
groups like Island Harvest because the need for their services has never
been greater."
In the past few years alone. King Kullen has donated more than
S800,000 worth of surplus food to Island Harvest, which delivers millions
of pounds of food to a network of 600+ Long Island-based food pantries,
soup kitchens, and other non-profit organizations. King Kullen's most
recent donation was comprised mainly of non-perishable, Passover-related
foods.
"As Long Island's own supermarket, King Kullen is proud to make a
difference in the fight against hunger...right here on the home front,"
concluded Cullen. "We are dedicated to helping our underserved com-munities
and applaud Island Harvest's good work and the food pantries
it supports."
In addition to Island Harvest, King Kullen is a longtime sup-porter
of Long Island Cares, Long Island's first food bank and one of
the region's most comprehensive hunger action organizations. Through
its "Check Out Hunger" campaign, King Kullen customers have gener-ously
donated more than $415,000 to Long Island Cares over the past
ten years. In addition to its support of that campaign. King Kullen has
also made a direct pledge of 5100,000 to Long Island Cares.
Headquartered in Bethpage, New York, King Kullen Grocery
Co., Inc. is recognized by the Smithsonian Institution as American's
first supermarket. Founded in 1930 by Michael J. Cullen, King Kullen
today employs more than 4,800 people and operates 47 stores and four
