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.
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 Upper West Side.
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!
Meal delivery

The Kosher Meals at Home program delivers meals to senior adults who keep kosher (or Halal) and live on the Upper West Side (from 50th Street to 125th Street) and the Upper East Side (from 50th Street to 96th Street).
Meals are frozen and come in a “TV Dinner” style tray with a protein, a starch, and a vegetable. Three to five meals are delivered each week (older adults are assigned a delivery day and window of time to expect the delivery). There is a sliding-scale contribution of $5/meal down to $1/meal.
There may be a wait list for this program (it changes week-to-week), but in an emergency situation, Kosher Meals at Home can usually assist with meals short-term until a case management agency can take over the meal delivery.
The older adult requesting meals needs to be able to safely heat the meals in a microwave or regular oven on their own (or have an aide or family member/caregiver who can heat the meals for them). Meals cannot be heated in a toaster oven unless they are transferred to another dish that is safe.

Every location is different! Some places in Upper West Side 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.
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 Upper West Side do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.
