Food Pantry

The New York Chapter of the Tzu Chi Foundation operates a welcoming Food Pantry in Elmhurst, NY, dedicated to serving individuals and families in need. Our mission is to provide essential food assistance to ensure that everyone in our community can meet their basic nutritional needs. We distribute tickets at 9 AM on a first-come, first-served basis. During your initial visit, we ask you to register with your address and household size so that we can create a food pantry ID for your future visits, making it easier for you to access emergency food when you need it most. We are here to support our neighbors and foster a healthier community together.
