Select a variety of fresh seasonal produce, pantry staples, as well as frozen protein options at one of our 15 monthly outdoor farmers market-style distributions across NYC. Plus, enjoy cooking demos from our Nutrition Education team, seasonal resources, and benefits support.
You’ll always find seasonal fresh produce and shelf-stable goods at every Mobile Pantry—that’s a promise. Depending on what we receive and the time of year, you might also see diapers, baby food and products, personal and feminine care items, Bombas socks, pet food, or holiday items.
We recommend lining up 30 minutes before start time. Please don’t arrive hours early—there’s no need, and it may be cold. Our team works hard to make sure everyone in line—front to back—has real choices.
No. All Mobile Pantry distributions are first-come, first-served.
The only exception is during select, donor-sponsored distributions, when food may be pre-bagged to support a large, one-time event (for example, an annual holiday distribution).
You may either talk to program manager Melissa Pino at the site, or fill out our story form and someone from our team will follow up. You can stay anonymous, and photos are totally optional.
