Food Pantries

BronxWorks runs three food pantries at the Carolyn McLaughlin Community Center, Morris Older Adult Center, and Twin Parks West Community Center.

The food pantries also accept referrals from local community agencies, clinics, and clergies.

Some other BronxWorks programs also provide weekly food pantries for their participants. If you are a current BronxWorks participant and need emergency food assistance, reach out to your case manager or other contact person, or fill out the Contact Us form on our website.
