First Stop Food Pantries in Elmont, NY, is dedicated to ensuring food assistance is within reach for individuals and families facing urgent food insecurity. Operating as a vital extension of Long Island Cares, our pantries offer up to five days' worth of emergency food, designed to meet basic needs while also providing access to essential resources. We inform our visitors about programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Child Health Plus, WIC, and support for heating, utilities, employment, and mortgage assistance. Our priority is the well-being of our community, which is why we serve only a limited number of families at a time to maintain a safe environment. If you find yourself in need, we warmly welcome you to visit your nearest First Stop Pantry for the support you need.
