    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.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Two Bridges 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 Two Bridges 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 Two Bridges that’s open today: Vision Urbana Inc., Our Lady Of Sorrows (CCCS), The Bowery Mission, United Jewish Council of the East Side - Orenstein Building Pantry, Neighborhood Care Chinatown, Project Hospitality - Canal Street, Grand Central Food Program, Chinatown

  20. Where are you located?

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