Christ Pentecostal International Church exists to proclaim the Gospel of Christ and the beliefs of the evangelical Christian faith. We strive to maintain the worship of God, and to inspire in all persons, a love for Christ, a passion for righteousness and a consciousness of their duties to God and their fellow human beings.
As Christ commissioned the church to feed the poor, we have collaborated with the City of New York to provide food pantry service to the needy in the East Tremont community. This service is free and is for everyone; you don't have to be a member of CPIC to benefit.

We provide enhanced quality of life to the Bronx residents by offering services, support, and connections to resources that help people continue living comfortably and safely in their homes and communities.
BJCC’s food pantry is the largest in the East Bronx and distributes food packages each month to anyone who comes to our door hungry. Each package includes enough food for three meals for three days for three people. Each month food is sorted into packages that typically include a box of pasta and sauce, can of vegetables, can of fruit, soup and other goods when available. However, this supplement is often dependent on what food is available at the Food Bank.
In addition to providing supplemental food packages, BJCC offers emergency food vouchers to those who are just not able to make ends meet. Food vouchers allow individuals to purchase perishable food and other items at local grocery stores that are neither included in the food packages nor available with food stamps.

New Covenant Community Development Corporation (NCCDC) is committed to the holistic revitalization of the Bronx. We provide economic development and empowerment opportunities to help Bronx residents rebuild and sustain their community.
NCCDC strives to be a significant catalyst in bringing community development efforts to the Bronx. A primary issue for NCCDC has been the reclamation of the neighborhoods it serves through the rehabilitation or construction of housing units.
We expand to meet the evolving needs of its communities through the provision of Food Pantry Services and establishment of multi-faceted programs that benefit such groups as unemployed youth and adults, families in poverty and homeless people, among others.
Our Mission Statement
To reduce unemployment, poverty, illiteracy and homelessness in our neighborhoods by assisting those classified as low income earners, high risk and vulnerable through non-traditional community based education and social support services.
Food Pantry
The NCCDC Food Pantry Services work to eliminate hunger and its root causes … because no one should be hungry.
NCCDC is determined to help fight childhood hunger. Childhood hunger is a huge problem in the Bronx. The Bronx is among New York counties with a high rate of child food insecurity. NCCDC’s Food Pantry Services is geared toward supporting the goal of developing additional capacities for food pantries. These additional capacities will have the potential to reach an additional 1,250 families per month and distribute groceries for hundreds of thousands meals per year.

The Jewish Community Council of Pelham Parkway represents the unified voice of the Synagogues and Jewish organizations of our Bronx neighborhood. We work with government agencies to promoter services to the community at large and to highlight the unique needs of our constituents. We work with the leaders of the many ethnic groups who are our neighbors in Pelham Parkway and sponsor events that bring us together in celebration of community life, while providing for our neighbors in need.
Our food pantry is the largest in the East Bronx and feeds anyone who comes to our door hungry. Each package includes enough food for three meals for three days for three people. Each month food is sorted into packages that typically include a box of pasta and sauce, can of vegetables, can of fruit, soup and other goods when available. However, this supplement is often dependent on what food is available at the Food Bank.
In addition to providing supplemental food packages, we offer emergency food vouchers to those who are just not able to make ends meet. Food vouchers allow individuals to purchase perishable food and other items at local grocery stores that are neither included in the food packages nor available with food stamps.
Our basic supportive services are a life-line for residents of the Bronx living at or below the poverty line.

- Your zip code, and
- Number of people in your household.
You usually do not need an appointment. Drive-thru pantries are generally first-come, first-served, so plan to arrive early because lines can fill quickly and popular items may run out.

Tips for Visiting a Food Pantry
Show up early.
This is very important. This means you will be first in line and have a chance to get the items that are sought after and in limited quantities such as fresh produce, dairy and frozen food.
You don't usually need to show up hours ahead of time but coming at least an hour before is usually a good idea.
Remember all documentation.
Some food pantries require documentation to prove who you are, and in some cases, where you live.
This is to make sure people are not coming more than they are allowed or using fake names to do so. Call ahead of time to find out what documentation is needed.
This is often a photo ID and a piece of mail that verifies your address.
Use several food banks.
Using more than one food bank (when available) is smart because you may be able to get something at one that you may not get at another.
For instance, one may have a deal with a local gardener that gives them their extras. This may mean this food bank has more produce.
Eligible for other programs?
Ask your Department of Social Services office if you are eligible for other assistance programs to supplement your household’s food supply.
They can easily tell you if you can apply for WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), USDA Commodities or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.
Ask about extras.
If you have special needs for infants or special diets, the pantries may be able to assist you.
Many times, they can help with diapers, baby formula, baby food, personal hygiene products, and even special diet items like gluten free or sugar free foods.
Go on different days of the week.
Depending on the food pantry, they may be open only one or two days a week or they may be open all seven days. When you have a choice, going midweek is often best as it is less crowded.
Be polite to workers.
Nearly everyone at a food bank is a volunteer. Be polite to the workers there as they often deal with highly emotional situations.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is the difference between a food bank and a food pantry?
Independent community food pantries are self-governing and usually distribute food to their clients on a once-a-month basis. A food bank is the storehouse for millions of pounds of food and other products that go out to the community. A food pantry functions as the arms that reach out to that community directly.
2. What kind of food is at a food pantry?
Food pantries typically provide shelf-stable items such as:
- Peanut butter
- Canned soup
- Canned fruit
- Canned vegetables
- Pasta
- Canned beans
- Canned stew
- Canned fish
3. Who can go to a food pantry?
Rules vary by food pantry. Many ask only that you say you need help, while others may ask for ID, proof of address, income information, or a referral. Call ahead to find out what to bring.
4. What is the difference between a food pantry and a soup kitchen?
A food pantry often provides food packages meant to last a few days to families that have a place to live, but not enough food. These packages are designed to provide nutritionally balanced meals. Soup kitchens serve individuals in need of a hot meal, the only meal of the day for many of them.
5. How does a food pantry work?
Food banks acquire large donations of food from the food industry and distribute it to organizations that feed hungry people. Those organizations then provide this food directly to families in need.
