Info

We can serve any zip code once a fiscal year. To sign up for recurring appointments at our pantry, community members must be Lower East Side residents (zip code 10002 or 10009). An ID is not required but highly recommended for ease of correctly transcribing community members' names and addresses for TEFAP requirements.

We currently have a waitlist for appointments but folks are also welcome to email us at pantry@girlsclub.org to add their information to our waitlist.
