Project Hospitality’s largest food pantry provides free, nutritious groceries to the Staten Island community on a regular schedule.

This public elementary school hosts the New York City Department of Education's Free Summer Meals Program, providing free breakfast and lunch to all children and teens eighteen years old or younger throughout the summer. The site operates Monday through Friday with no registration, paperwork, identification, or proof of income required.

Summer Meal Program site operated by the New York City Department of Education at M.S. 131, a public middle school in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The program provides free breakfast and lunch on weekdays to anyone 18 or younger during summer break.

Alliance for Positive Change’s CASA Washington Heights offers a food pantry that provides monthly grocery packages for nine complete meals, emergency shelf‑stable pantry items, and nutrition education such as cooking classes. The service supports low‑income New Yorkers living with HIV and other chronic conditions.

Our monthly food pantry package includes nine complete healthy meals—the ingredients you need to make a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner at home. (Just tell us about your kitchen tools and we’ll build a package that works for you!)

Emergency pantry services address an immediate need. If you’re hungry, we’ll send you home with shelf-stable goods.

Cooking classes and nutritional counseling teaches clients how to make healthier meals with food pantry packages.

"For a smoother experience, this is a grab-and-go meal site where trucks arrive sometimes earlier or later due to traffic. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled time. If the truck is running late, please allow at least 15 minutes from the scheduled arrival time before inquiring."

We launched three food pantries to provide fresh, culturally appropriate produce, meats and canned and packaged goods to residents in Chinatown, the Lower East Side and East Harlem, where the Asian American population is growing rapidly. The monthly pantries are powered by the AAFE Volunteer Program, including more than 100 dedicated New Yorkers committed to giving back to their communities. Food is sourced primarily from local small businesses. Community members must sign up for pantry distributions in advance. Currently, we are fully booked with a substantial waiting list. Please contact us for referrals to other food resources.Come before 10am to line up and get a number.

Any child or teenager 18 years old or younger can drop in to receive a free, ready-to-eat breakfast and lunch on weekdays during the summer, with no registration, identification, proof of address, or proof of income required. The site is part of the city's broader summer feeding initiative, which opens hundreds of locations across all five boroughs during the summer break so kids can get nutritious meals when school is out.
