BoxLunch opens first Long Island store at Smith Haven Mall

BoxLunch, a pop culture gift store with a cause, opened its first Long Island location last week at the Smith Haven Mall.

BoxLunch offers a selection of officially licensed apparel, accessories, collectibles, beauty, home goods and gift and novelty merchandise.

The company, which has a civic mission to help end hunger, donates one meal to Feeding America for every $10 spent in their stores. 

Since it was founded in 2015, BoxLunch has donated more than $100 million meals through Feeding America’s nationwide network of food banks, according to its website. Long Island Cares will directly receive a percentage of the donations raised at Smith Haven Mall’s new BoxLunch store.
