    Info

    • We are a food pantry that distributes fresh fruits and vegetables, household cleaning items, personal hygiene items, and canned/boxed foods. Based on donations from local businesses, we also distribute milk and cheese, baked goods, and ready-made meals.

    **We give out food and cleaning items every Sunday from 1 to 3 pm, rain or shine. If pantry guests arrive at 2 pm, the line is shorter and there still is plenty of food. We are open on holidays.

    • For people who are unable to visit the pantry in person due to disability, we deliver groceries to homes during weekends. This depends on how many volunteer drivers we have.

    • We are located behind the building at 4225 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC, in an alley off Veazey St. NW. We are next to the Van Ness Metro Stop on the Red line on the east side.

    **People can text NW Community Food at (202) 743-5770. Our website is: https://nwcommunityfood.net.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in North Cleveland 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.

  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.

  17. 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 North Cleveland Park do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in North Cleveland Park that’s open today: St. Paul’s Lutheran Church , Loaves & Fishes

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in North Cleveland Park for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.
