Feeding Our Community
The Food Pantry is Open!
The Food Pantry at Saint Joseph of the Holy Family was established in 1871. It is one of the oldest operating food pantries in New York City, serving groceries to an average of 300 families per week. Every other Saturday we provide groceries and supplies to those in need.
Groceries include canned goods, vegetables, pasta, rice, beans, cereal, oatmeal, juice, and other healthy options. Clients are able to select items and are asked to bring their own bag or small shopping cart when possible. The pantry gives each person representing a household groceries according to the amount of people in that household or immediate family.
The next pantry date is Saturday 12.20.25
8:00 AM to 11:00 AM
To keep the food pantry running we rely on donations. You may drop off food in the lower level of the church - Komora Hall. See acceptable items and details on how to drop them off HERE.
Advent 2025 Update
Starting in January through March we again do pre-bagging of the groceries on Fridays of pantry weekends 9:45- 12noon and 5-7pm.
