New York Common Pantry

New York Common Pantry, at 8 E 109th St in East Harlem, works to reduce hunger while promoting dignity, health, and self-sufficiency. It provides supplemental grocery packages and hot, nutritionally balanced meals served for dine-in or take-away.

The organization also operates Mobile Pantry partnerships that bring groceries closer to communities through community-based organizations. Its Live Healthy! program offers nutrition education and health-focused support, including workshops, Farm Share produce, Food MD services, and cooking demonstrations. Case-management services help connect food assistance with broader support needs.
