Food Pantries

BronxWorks runs two food pantries at the Morris Innovative Senior Center and the Heights Neighborhood Senior Center.  Both pantries operate twice a month, once for senior citizens and once for the general community.

The food pantries also accept referrals from local community agencies, clinics, and clergies.  Referrals must speak with director Maria Rivera (contact information below) for approval.
