Hope for our Neighbors in Need is the food ministry of the Church of the Village. We help our neighbors in the short-term by providing them with hunger relief. We help them in the long-term by providing them with information on available social services to help them break the cycle of poverty. We also offer life-affirming hospitality to our visitors – some friendly encouragement to people who are coping with difficult daily struggles.

Our food ministry has two programs. On Tuesdays, we run Daisy’s Food Pantry – open from 1 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. There, we distribute bags of groceries to individuals and families in need. On Saturdays, we host a community meal from 12 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and serve hot food to whoever comes through our doors. We invite members of the church to eat with our neighbors from the community. Hope for our Neighbors in Need is one of the most important missions for our church members who see this program as a key to sharing the love of Christ by supporting social justice and community outreach.

Our Lady of Good Counsel Church is a cultural apostolate of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. It is a direct response to a call that began with Pope John Paul II. The first part of the evening is Eucharistic adoration and begins with Vespers (Evening Prayer). This is the universal prayer of the Church prayed by the Catholics throughout the world in every time zone and in every language. This provides a window for each person to personally encounter Jesus Christ. The beauty of the darkened Church illumined by candles helps us enter the mystery of our Lord's presence in the Eucharist.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international, nonprofit, Catholic lay organization that provides assistance for those in need and living in poverty. Members of the Society of St.Vincent de Paul, who are known as Vincentians, are men and women who strive to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to individuals in need. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic Rule. Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in the City of New York operates food pantries with our mission being to directly serve our local residents who suffer from hunger and food insecurity within the city. Days and times of operation vary from location to location, and sometimes from week to week. We also operate late night meal service in a variety of locations.

St. Vincent de Paul in the City of New York Conferences are parish based groups of laymen and women who seek to grow spiritually by becoming personally involved in helping the poor in their communities. Vincentians provide direct services and referrals to poor and needy individuals and families. In the parish, Conferences work closely with their pastor and congregation to serve people in need. Conferences obtain funding through regular and special collections in the parish, fundraising activities, and Vincentian member contributions. Each Conference decides what programs and services it will offer based on the needs in the local area.

Met Council's kosher food program meets the needs of all who are hungry whether they are large families struggling to feed their children, new immigrants with little income, or frail elderly people without nutritious food.

These programs enable clients to eat more healthfully — and ensure they can use their limited income to meet other daily needs, such as rent, clothing and medication.

We understand the unique challenges of affording kosher food and the importance of food for rituals. That is why all of the food throughout our system is kosher. That said, our services are available to anyone who is hungry—regardless as to whether or not they keep kosher.

LSA Family Health Service, founded by the Little Sisters of the Assumption, strengthens and empowers vulnerable families and children by meeting their basic needs for food, healthcare, education and a safe home, in the belief that affirming families in their own dignity improves the entire community.

The Advocacy with Food Pantry helps families meet their immediate need for food and the longer-term issues of living in poverty or crisis. Our advocates educate families about their rights and empower them.

We assist families with benefits applications, refer them to either LSA and non-LSA programs, offer immigration advice and help tenants avoid eviction and get needed repairs. Visitors to our client-choice food pantry receive fresh and healthy food choices after meeting with an advocate who evaluates the full extent of their needs.

LSA is proud to be a part of Action NYC, a citywide initiative through the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs to connect immigrant New Yorkers with free and confidential immigration legal consultations in all five boroughs. LSA partners with Action NYC to do outreach in Northern Manhattan, including East Harlem and Washington Heights.

Through a supermarket-style food pantry, West Side Campaign Against Hunger's mission alleviates hunger and creates a culture that promotes self-reliance and works for change.

West Side Campaign Against Hunger changes our perception of hungry people by working in partnership with them, providing food with dignity, and empowering customers to find solutions.

West Side Campaign Against Hunger welcomes low-income residents from all 5 boroughs of New York City, regardless of household size or immigration status. Learn more about what you will need to bring, to get started.

Customers are given a food card based on the number of family members. The card specifies the amount of cereals, fruits, vegetables, protein and dairy, but gives our customers the choice to pick the kind they prefer. The shopping card is based on the USDA’s MyPlate, ensuring our customers received balanced, nutritious meals.

Customers can come once a month and get nutritious food for the family for three days. We understand that everyone has different tastes and needs, so we offer a healthy variety of food. There are always fresh fruit and vegetable choices.

For prompt service, arrive at least ½ hour before closing time!

You may be asked to provide:

  • 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.

Visitors pull up in their car and are guided into a clearly marked queue. Staff move cars forward to keep the line moving quickly.

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.
