Info

Kehilat Sephardim Food Pantry is a non-profit kosher food pantry dedicated to ending hunger in the Jewish and immigrant communities in Queens. As one of the largest kosher food pantries in the country, it serves thousands of individuals weekly, including children, families, and seniors. The pantry uses a client-choice open market model where clients select their own food items from what is available on the line, rather than receiving pre-packed bags. The pantry is affiliated with the Met Council and operates out of the Kehilat Sephardim congregation building. The pantry is closed on Jewish holidays and during severe weather events.
