UA3 created the Community First Food Pantry in the wake of the

COVID-19 pandemic to combat food insecurity. Populations that are most affected are often overlooked and include racial minority groups, seniors, people with disabilities, domestic violence survivors, and undocumented immigrants.

We package and deliver foods from Trader Joe's donations and the federal Coronavirus Food Assistance Program to NYCHA residencies, senior citizen homes, and tenement buildings throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and South Bronx. The food packages consist of fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, milk, eggs, baked goods, cereals, and cheeses.

Hours of Operation: Mondays and Thursdays from 8 AM to 6 PM
