Free Meals

Free Meals in Woodhaven, NY, is a vital initiative by the New York City Department of Education, ensuring that all New Yorkers have access to three nutritious meals every day. With over 400 Meal Hubs across the city, we welcome everyone to grab their meals—no matter the circumstance. Families can visit from 7:30 am to 11:30 am, while adults can collect their meals from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, and we guarantee that no one will be turned away. Our program offers convenient Grab-and-Go meals, with vegetarian options available at every location, alongside select halal and kosher choices. There’s no need for registration or identification; simply come to any Meal Hub and pick up three meals at once. We encourage parents and guardians to collect meals for their children, as all meals must be enjoyed off-site. Please note that locations may change due to COVID-19, so be sure to use our site lookup tool to find a nearby Meal Hub. Together, we’re committed to fighting food insecurity and ensuring that everyone has access to the nutrition they need.
