  15. Do I need an appointment?

  16. 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.

    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 Lower Manhattan do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.
