FOOD PANTRY
Financial pressures and lack of local access to healthy foods can make it difficult for our low-income clients to feed their families, let alone maintain a healthy lifestyle. CIS-NYC addresses this need by distributing well-balanced, healthy and culturally-appropriate packages of food to local families each month. Food distribution is supplemented by additional services and resources offered during distribution hours. In the past this included information about COVID and flu vaccines, tax preparation, job readiness trainings, ESOL classes, health insurance, and registration for SNAP.
Our food pantry currently distributes well-balanced bags of food to about 400 families each week. These bags consist of approximately fifty percent fresh produce.
Since moving to Inwood in 2022, the CIS-NYC Food Pantry has distributed 1.5 million meals to our neighbors in need.
