Join us for Southampton’s most highly anticipated event of the year, the Polar Bear Plunge, live and in-person!

On Saturday, December 10th, over 300 of our neighbors will take the plunge and many more people will come out and support them! 

All proceeds directly benefit our year-round Food Pantry and Assistance Programs, that currently serve more than 1,600 families in the Town of Southampton. This year’s goal is to raise $350,000 – we can make this happen with your generous support. 

For those already struggling to make ends meet, it will take years to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with rising inflation and an extremely difficult housing market on the east end. We continue to add nearly 20 new families every month, illustrating how our community is very much still struggling and depends on your continued support.

The generosity from donors like you allows us to bring relief to our neighbors in need, whether it is providing food for a local family, medical transportation, or assisting with rent gaps and utility bills.
