First Stop Food Pantries

At First Stop Food Pantries in Valley Stream, NY, we are dedicated to providing immediate food assistance to individuals and families facing uncertainty. Our emergency food pantries offer up to five days' worth of essential food items, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry. In addition to nourishing meals, we connect our clients to vital resources, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Child Health Plus, WIC, and other support services like heating, utility, and mortgage assistance. We prioritize the safety of our community by limiting access to six families at a time within our facilities, fostering a welcoming environment where help is just a visit away. If you are in need, we encourage you to find the pantry nearest to you and take the first step toward accessing the support you deserve.
