You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.

Can someone deliver the food to my house?

Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Battery Park.

What do I have to bring?

Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Do I need an appointment?

Every location is different! Some places in Battery Park accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

What kind of food do they have?

Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

Do they have vegetables?

Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Battery Park do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

Info
We are a food pantry that distributes fresh produce, household cleaning items, personal hygiene items, shelf-stable goods, and, depending on donations from local businesses, we also distribute dairy products, bakery goods, and ready-made meals.

For people who are unable to visit the pantry in person due to disabilities or for other compelling reasons, we deliver groceries to homes on Saturdays or Sundays.

We are located behind this building in an alley off Veazey St. NW and are next to the Van Ness Metro Stop on the Red line. We distribute food outdoors.

Home deliveries for disabled people are done on Saturdays or Sundays.

Pantry guests can pick up food anytime during 1 to 3 pm on Sundays. If they arrive at 2 pm, the line is shorter and there still is plenty of food. They can text NW Community Food at (202) 743-5770. Our website is: https://nwcommunityfood.net.
