We have partnered with Plentiful to provide appointments to our guests for the pantry. To schedule an appointment: Two options: Download the app here. Available for Android on the Google Play store. (Not available for iOS) Via Text Message Text the word "SAFH" to 726-879 (PANTRY) Wait for the system to text you back - this may take a few minutes. Respond to the questions that the system asks (e.g. Name, Date of Birth, Zip Code, Number of People in the Household, etc.) Select your preferred appointment date and time • If for your first time, you don't have anything, that is no problem. You will still be served, but only receive food for one person, and not your entire household. You will need to bring documentation with you next time.

We can serve any zip code once a fiscal year. To sign up for recurring appointments at our pantry, community members must be Lower East Side residents (zip code 10002 or 10009). An ID is not required but highly recommended for ease of correctly transcribing community members' names and addresses for TEFAP requirements.

We currently have a waitlist for appointments but folks are also welcome to email us at pantry@girlsclub.org to add their information to our waitlist.
