Food from pantries and community kitchens
Community Food Connection (CFC) | NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA)
1. How it Works
There are ways to get free food quickly – get groceries from a food pantry, or a cooked meal from a community kitchen. Use the Food Help NYC map or call 311 to find your closest food pantry and community kitchen.
Everyone is eligible for food assistance, regardless of immigration status or how much money you have.
You might also be eligible for SNAP (food stamps) and other benefits from HRA.
