You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.

Can someone deliver the food to my house?

Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Gramercy.

What do I have to bring?

Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Do I need an appointment?

Every location is different! Some places in Gramercy 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.

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.

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 Gramercy do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

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.
