Our Community First Food Pantry was started as a response to the pandemic to address food insecurity in New York City. We provide fresh, healthy, and culturally appropriate food, as well as PPEs to our community members in need, regardless of their income, background, or circumstances. We also offer programs such as nutrition education, cooking classes, youth leadership development opportunities as well as referrals to other resources that can help our clients achieve greater wellbeing. Our Food Pantry is more than just a place to receive food; it is a community of caring and compassion that welcomes everyone with dignity and respect.
