    Info

    The Soup Kitchen at Saint Luke's serves over 300 hot, nutritious meals each service day in the church's transformed theater space, including take-out options. The program is partially subsidized by grants from United Way and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, with weekly deliveries of essential items from City Harvest and contributions from neighboring restaurants, the Riu Hotel, and the 46th Street Block Association. Special events include winter wear clothing distribution and holiday meals such as Thanksgiving lunches. The kitchen is staffed by volunteers from the congregation, area office workers, Broadway Serves, and visiting mission and youth groups. All are welcome and no referral is needed for meals.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Garment District accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Garment District do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in Garment District that’s open today: Project Point Coffee House, Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, St. Francis Breadline, Grand Central Food Program, Port Authority, Alliance for Positive Change

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Garment District for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 or on WhatsApp between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.

  21. Can I get a reminder before my visit?

    Yes! Tap the bell icon on any resource page to set a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

  22. Can I build a weekly food schedule?

    Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits in Garment District for the week, so you always know where to go and when. It’s a great way to plan ahead and make sure you have food throughout the week.

  23. How do I get help from a real person?

    You can text our helpline at 90847 or reach us on WhatsApp between 10am–6pm, every day of the week. A real person will help you find food in Garment District, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
