Info

Vinegar Hill Food Pantry is a small hyper-local Brooklyn food pantry and 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 by Jennifer Macksoud to fight food insecurity in Vinegar Hill and nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods. Each week it distributes fresh produce and pantry staples such as rice, pasta, green beans, tomato sauce, and fresh fruit and vegetables to over 175 local families in a welcoming, no-questions-asked environment open to people of all ages. In addition to the weekly distribution, the pantry keeps a 24/7 Little Red Food Box at the Vinegar Hill Community Garden stocked daily with grab-and-go items for anyone who needs food at no charge.
