    Info

    The Jewish Community Council of Canarsie's hunger prevention program has been helping neighborhood seniors and families put food on the table since 1981. The program reflects the traditional Jewish value of ensuring no one in the community goes hungry, and it operates as part of a broader social services network that includes meals on wheels for homebound elderly residents and nutrition education to help clients make the most of their food resources. Around Passover each year the council distributes holiday staples such as matzos and grape juice so Jewish families in the area can observe the holiday with dignity.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Bergen Beach 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 Bergen Beach 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 Bergen Beach that’s open today: Our Lady Charity for the Community Inc, OUR LADY OF MIRACLES-CANARSIE CLUSTER CENTER

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Bergen Beach 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 Bergen Beach 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 Bergen Beach, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
