Find Soup Kitchens, Food Banks and Food Pantries Near You

We are continually adding to our list of soup kitchens, food pantries and food banks available in America and its US territories. Many people go hungry every day. Without your local soup kitchen, food bank and food pantry people would literally starve to death. You can help by volunteering at your local soup kitchen, food bank or food pantry. Many local non-profit organizations are desperate for funds and volunteers so please contact them and help if you can.

The Family Independence Administration also provides access to food stamps to low-income families and individuals. The food stamp program is known as SNAP, which stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. For the veteran in a shelter, it is imperative to remain healthy. 

USING THE EBT CARD

New York recipients may access their cash and SNAP benefits at participating EBT locations anywhere within New York State and nationwide. Cash benefits may also be accessed at participating ATM and authorized retail store locations.

Grocery store Morton Williams allows hot food with EBT anytime:

• Stop and Shop grocery stores

• Whole Foods grocery stores

• *Morton Williams grocery stores

• Most dollar discount stores
