Whether you're a single person or head of a household, there are programs that can pick up the slack in the grocery bill to make ends meet. As a bonus produce hails from community gardens around the borough. Project Hospitality of Port Richmond, the Staten Island Hunger Task Force and the Richmond County Savings Foundation organize and support this network.

Those who use the pantries are asked to show a photo I.D. although some venues require only a signature. Here is a complete list of resources. Note that a handful are open only to congregants of a temple or parish. The phone numbers are listed also so Staten Islanders can call to volunteer with food distribution.
