First Stop Food Pantries

At First Stop Food Pantries in Elmont, NY, we are dedicated to providing essential food assistance to individuals and families facing hunger. Our emergency food pantries offer up to five days’ worth of nutritious food and a wealth of information about vital community resources such as SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), Child Health Plus, WIC, and assistance for heating, utilities, employment, and mortgage needs. We encourage anyone in need to visit one of our locations, where we ensure a safe and supportive environment by serving only a limited number of families at a time. Our mission is to meet basic dietary needs while guiding our community toward broader resources for stability and wellness, all with a warm and welcoming approach.
