Kehilat Sephardim Food Pantry is a non-profit kosher food pantry dedicated to ending hunger in the Jewish and immigrant communities in Queens. As one of the largest kosher food pantries in the country, it serves thousands of individuals weekly, including children, families, and seniors. The pantry uses a client-choice open market model where clients select their own food items from what is available on the line, rather than receiving pre-packed bags. The pantry is affiliated with the Met Council and operates out of the Kehilat Sephardim congregation building. The pantry is closed on Jewish holidays and during severe weather events.

Food distribution on Wednesday is for seniors only. On Saturdays, it is open to all individuals and families. Clients often start lining up several hours before opening, sometimes as early as 5:00 AM on Saturdays, so plan to arrive early. Please note that a ticket or number may be required for service, and these may need to be obtained prior to the distribution, potentially at a separate location.

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.
