The Tzu Chi Foundation's New York Chapter operates a welcoming Food Pantry in East Elmhurst, dedicated to providing essential food assistance to individuals and families in our community. Our program ensures access to nutritious food that meets basic needs, fostering a healthier environment for all. We distribute food on a first-come, first-served basis, with ticket handouts starting at 9 AM. During the initial visit, guests will need to register their address and household size to receive a food pantry ID, which simplifies future visits. We are here to support you with compassion and care.
