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.
