Our Programs

Farmer’s market-style Food Pantry

With plentiful fresh produce and healthy pantry staples, our food pantry distributes over 2,000,000 meals worth of food a year to food-insecure New Yorkers.

In addition to food, our guests experiencing homelessness can also access other essential items as part of their pantry experience, such as socks and underwear, hygiene kits, or sleeping bags. The Urban Outreach Center is committed to connecting our guests with the basic resources they need, with the dignity they deserve.
