How do I get food?

You can receive food by visiting Community Development Services, at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Make sure to check each resource to see details like address, full schedule, and any notes–Community Development Services doesn’t have any requirements, so just arrive during operating hours!

Can someone deliver the food to my house?

Delivery services are very limited and are usually reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we can help you find options in your area.

What do I have to bring?

Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Do I need an appointment?

No appointment needed! Just show up to Community Development Services during operating hours — no pre-registration required.

What kind of food do they have?

Soup kitchens like Community Development Services 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.

Is Community Development Services open today?

Community Development Services is not open today! If you don’t see anything else open today, please let us know and we can search for additional options.

Where are you located?

Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office for in-person visits. Community Development Services is located at 7536 Haverford Avenue!

Can I get a reminder before my visit?

Yes! Tap the "Remind me" bell above to get a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

Can I build a weekly food schedule?

Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits 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.

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 near you, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
