Emergency Food Program Directory
 

Welcome to Hunger Action Network’s Emergency Food Program Directory

Hunger Action Network works with nearly 3,000 Emergency Food Programs throughout New York State that provide free food to hungry New Yorkers. The most common type of food programs are food pantries and soup kitchens. Food Pantries (FP) provide low-income families and individuals with bags of free food to take home and prepare themselves. Soup Kitchens (SK) provide people with free meals that are already prepared and are consumed at the soup kitchen site. Some food programs only serve certain categories of people, such as children, seniors, or people living in a certain area. Some programs require that you bring ID or other information with you. Therefore, please call to obtain this information before you go the program.

Our Emergency Food Program Directory allows you to find a food program in your area using your county or zip code. The directory includes food programs outside of New York City only. For a list of programs in New York City, please call the NYC Hunger Hotline at 1-866-888-8777 or contact the Food Bank for NYC at 212-566-7855 or go to their website at http://www.foodbanknyc.org/index.cfm?objectid=46953F29-C09F-0662-D219141E04439B81
