Food Pantries

​

A food pantry is a place that distributes free grocery items. They can be run by churches, nonprofits, or volunteer groups, and they all operate differently. We can help you find the best options near you!

​

There is usually a set day & time when they’re open (like Tuesdays from 9am-2pm, or the 1st Saturday of the month). Depending on the location, you’ll get anything from dry goods (like rice or pasta) to canned foods (like tuna or veggies) to fresh produce & dairy items. Every location is unique. Some require appointments, some require ID, and some may limit how often you can visit (i.e. once a week)

Soup Kitchens

​

Maybe you don’t need groceries–that’s okay too! There are plenty of places to get a free, hot meal, whether it’s a church around the corner, or a neighborhood volunteer. Some locations offer sit-down meals while others offer grab & go service, but they’ll often provide you with more than one meal when you visit. Ready-to-eat meals are waiting for you!

Government Benefits

​

The government safety net is designed to support you in times like these. There are tons of public benefits to help with groceries, rent & utilities, baby items, and more. For example, 42 million Americans use SNAP benefits: a monthly allowance you can use to buy groceries, just like any debit card.

You Are Not Alone

1 in 8 Americans need help with food.
