We’re turning 5!

Join us for our 5th Anniversary Benefit. You can purchase tickets, participate in our silent auction, or donate to help us celebrate.

We are small but mighty - a hyper-local food pantry serving our neighbors in Brooklyn, NY.

We work closely with our generous friends and local business owners to offer weekly food distributions to 150+ local families, including both fresh and pantry items. outside of the Vinegar Hill Community GardenWe also restock our Little Red Food Box, outside of the Vinegar Hill Community Garden, daily with food that is available to all who need it at no charge.

Founded during the COVID lockdown of 2020 by Jennnifer Macksoud, we work to mitigate and minimize food insecurity in Vinegar Hill and nearby neighborhoods. Today, we’ve grown from the back seat of Jennifer’s car to a devoted team of volunteers and achieved official non-profit status, allowing us to accommodate grants and donations to support and sustain our ever-expanding mission to love – and feed – our Brooklyn community.
