Three selected local food services and three citywide tools to find more options. This is not every food-assistance location on Staten Island.
Food programs and finders
1. Project Hospitality — Canal Street pantry
205 Canal Street, Staten Island, NY 10304
718-815-0800
The food-services page lists grocery distribution Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m.–noon. This is the shared food-program number; confirm current registration and document rules.
2. Project Hospitality — Canal Street community kitchen
211 Canal Street, Staten Island, NY 10304
718-815-0800
Prepared meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The operator’s pages give different starting times (11:30 a.m. and noon), both ending at 1 p.m.; call to confirm the current serving window before traveling. General community-kitchen services have no eligibility requirements listed.
3. Project Hospitality — Castleton Avenue pantry
1540 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island
718-815-0800
The provider lists grocery distribution on the second and fourth Thursdays, 2:30–5:30 p.m. Use the shared food-program line to confirm the date, remaining supplies and any registration arrangements. Ask about mobile pantry routes if this location is not convenient.
4. NYC311 — food pantry and meal referrals
Citywide referral route
311
Ask about a nearby pantry or soup kitchen. Pantries provide groceries to prepare at home; soup kitchens provide ready-to-eat meals. Confirm hours with the chosen provider before visiting.
5. City Harvest Food Map
Online food finder for Staten Island and all NYC boroughs
Find pantries, soup kitchens, community fridges and mobile distributions. The operator cautions that hours and services may change without notice; check the selected listing and contact its provider.
6. Food Bank For NYC — Find Food
Online pantry, meal and SNAP-support finder
Search by location for free groceries, prepared meals and SNAP assistance. A map listing is not a reservation or a confirmation that food remains available today.
Before you visit
Confirm distribution times, available supplies, reservation requirements, accepted documents and how often your household can receive groceries. Meal programs and pantries at the same organization can have different schedules. Published details were checked against official provider and city sources; telephone numbers have not been tested by calling.
