We offer our services through a number of programs.Our Pantry Program is designed to meet the needs of our families by providing culturally-appropriate and nutritiously-balanced food. This model empowers our Pantry members to be active participants in the distribution process by encouraging them to pick the food they would like to receive. Groceries are distributed every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.The Hot Meals program serves breakfast Monday through Friday and hot dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.Project Dignity is designed to meet the needs of the homeless and hungry. It consists of a range of services to meet the most basic needs of the Common Pantry's clients - food, shelter, hygiene, medical services - as well as long-term housing, health care, benefits and employment. Help 365 helps clients acquire benefits and entitlements, such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Social Security Supplemental Income; and provides assistance with accessing the other appropriate resources to prevent families from being evicted from their homes and by making employment referrals.Nourish, our Senior Nutrition Program, provides supplemental food for over 15,000 eligible seniors per month at over 90 sites. We are located in Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Lower Westchester County.Live Healthy! encourages participants to embrace healthy eating, active living, resiliency skills, and social support to improve overall quality of life.
