The FAQs

• How do I get food?

  • Registration happens on-site. Bring an ID and proof of address until you receive a client card. They only allow one person per household (address) to become a client at a time. If you live with someone who is already a client, they will turn you away.

• Can someone deliver the food to my house?

  • Delivery services are only available for clients who live in Inwood. The program, Inwood Meals-on-Heels, is very limited and is reserved for clients with disabilities or serious health issues. If you are an Inwood resident on disability (and have documentation), let them know at foodpantry@cis-nyc.org.

• What do I have to bring?

  • The Cabrini Immigrant Services Food Pantry suggests that you bring a cart. Bring an ID and proof of address until you receive a client card. After you receive a client card, bring your client card each time you come.

• Do I need an appointment:

  • No appointment necessary, but clients cannot pick up a food package two weeks in a row.

• What kind of food do they have?

  • The Cabrini Immigrant Services Food Pantry offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, frozen meat, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself.

The line usually starts forming around 3–4 AM. Tickets are released at 7 AM, and food distribution runs from 9 AM to 12 PM, but this still depends since it’s first come, first served until food runs out.

The pantry has moved to the convent across the street. The previous building was sold and is now under construction. The new location is 2250 Ryer Avenue.

They suggest coming before 7 AM. If there are leftovers, they may still give food, but if none remain, they won’t be able to distribute anything anymore.

Line up starts at 6:00 to like 7:30 and distribution starts at 9.
