We operate a Kosher Food Pantry at the Joan & Alan Bernikow JCC. Individuals schedule appointments to ensure personal and confidential one-on-one services. Our pantry is unique in that no one ever waits in a line to receive food, and families can pick the items they want from our extensive, healthy selection.

Donations come from UJA Federation of NY, Food Bank of NYC, Richmond County Savings Foundation, United Way, DYCD, individuals, and businesses. Our Day Hab participants and volunteers help stock the shelves and prepare packages for families in need. Each year, our food pantry serves over 7,500 food packages to over 300 families.

We were proud to receive the award for best food pantry on Staten Island from Food Bank NYC, the food pantry network and supplier to hundreds of pantries citywide!
