Close

Due to ongoing capital improvements at the BronxWorks Carolyn McLaughlin Community Center, the main entrance at 1130 Grand Concourse is closed. All guests, visitors and staff should use the accessible entrance located in the rear of the building through the parking lot on Carroll Place. Please exercise caution when entering and exiting the parking lot.

When the predicted heat index reaches 95°F or higher, the City of New York declares a “CODE RED”. During a Code Red, the BronxWorks Homeless Outreach Team will be working hard to help our most vulnerable neighbors get off the streets and into shelter. Designated cooling centers are open during a CODE RED. If you are living without air conditioning and need a place to cool down contact 311 or click here.

Food Pantries

BronxWorks provides client-choice and grab & go pantries at multiple sites across the Bronx.

Client-Choice Pantries

Client-choice pantries allow individuals to select the items they prefer. We offer a variety of food groups including proteins, grains, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products.

Pantry distribution is based on family size to ensure appropriate support. We are appointment-based, and all clients must call the hotline (646.596.1316) on the designated call day to schedule an appointment. Appointments are issued on a first-call, first-served basis. Please note that some sites have limited availability, so we strongly recommend calling early, as appointments fill up quickly.

The BronxWorks Morris Older Adult Center offers regular pantry distribution for older adults every second Friday of the month, 10 am – 3pm.

The center also offers distribution to community members under age 60 every fourth Friday of the month.

Distribution is first come, first served. Dates and distribution method is subject to change.

Referrals must speak with Bibi Karim, BronxWorks Vice President, Community Health, Positive Living, FEP, Immigration Services, ESOL, and Older Adult Services for approval.

The food pantry is great, especially with how expensive the basic food basket is right now. Prices are very high…It helps complement our own household pantry.”
