Our Emergency Food Pantry has been operating for more than 20 years and is located in our Central Office at 2139 Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Blvd. In 2020 our pantry served over 10,100 New Yorkers. The pantry provides dry goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and on occasion, frozen meats to the community. As a result of the pandemic, individuals can come to the pantry weekly. Our pantry is funded by United Way NYC, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, the Manhattan Borough President's Manhattan Community Award Program & more.
