How we help: food access
We make healthy meals and groceries available to all New Yorkers.
Access to Healthy Food
With partner sites all over the metro area, we're able to offer a selection of nutritious groceries in the communities that need it most.

Food that caters to real needs.
We have two Choice Pantries with personalized options so our guests receive the food they actually want.
Food where our guests live.
We have trusted community partner mobile pantry sites in many neighborhoods across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

Healthy, fresh options.
We partner with restaurants, wholesalers, food markets, caterers, and farms to acquire healthy food for our guests—often rescuing food in the process.
More than 1.3M pounds of fresh produce rescued in FY 2026.

Food specifically for seniors.
We are one of three sites citywide contracted to run a federally-funded Commodity Supplemental Food Program—Nourish—that provides healthy, shelf-stable food once a month to New Yorkers who are 60 years or older and have a low income.
Seniors visited us more than 220,000 times to receive assistance and healthy, monthly groceries.
