We do not have any qualifications to receive a meal. We understand that need comes in many forms and they are not always financial. Our core values are to feed families, spread kindness, and strengthen communities. You can visit us at https://www.lasagnalove.org/ to see more about how the process works. I've also attached a couple of resources that provide information about Lasagna Love.

You may have times where you know of families in need. You can share the attached flyer with families, and you can also nominate families by going to https://www.lasagnalove.org/nominate/. Once a nomination has been made, Lasagna Love sends the nominated family a text with a link to sign up. It is up to the family to decide if they would like to send in their request for a meal. This allows us to verify any food allergy or dietary needs with the family. They will then be contacted directly by a volunteer once they are matched!

To register for grocery delivery; must be 60 years or older. Must send proof of age by email; instructions will be given via phone. Once you register, you will receive weekly deliveries. Available in English & Spanish. Turnaround time is 1-3 days, and they cover Northeastern Queens.

Please note that the Commonpoint Queens Food Pantries will be closed from June 22-July 4, reopening on July 5.

Our model is taking individual requests from residents of our covered area (roughly Boerum Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill) for groceries, baby supplies, and cleaning/household supplies.

We can shop and deliver, put in an order for the person to pick up at Target, or if they're able to shop for themselves, we can either reimburse them or have one of our volunteers meet them at the store to pay at the register.

Please fill out the request form or give us a call at (929) 314-0899.
