NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides
To help connect community members in need with food resources, the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center created NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides for each NYC neighborhood. The neighborhoods are divided by the 59 NYC Department of City Planning’s Community District Profiles. The neighborhood lines and zip codes used for these reports are based on the districts used in the 2018 Community Health Profiles, which contain over fifty measures and statistics of neighborhood health.
Each resource guide includes information related to food access within the community, such as the location and hours of food pantries, meals for students and seniors during this time, delivery services for people with disabilities, and resources for immigrants. Find your neighborhood here.
NYC Foodscape Reports
The Center’s NYC Foodscape Reports compile data and research in an accessible format to provide a community-level snapshot of the neighborhood’s food environment. The 59 NYC Foodscape Reports include the following for each community: Demographics; Neighborhood Access to Healthy Food; Food Consumption; Health and Disease Status; Economic and Living-condition Stress; Contributors to Food Insecurity; Exercise and Physical Activity Burden; Summer Meals; Community Gardens; Greenthumb Gardens; School Gardens; Farmers’ Markets; Official Snap Enrollment Sites in NYC – Human Resources Association; Food Pantries and Soup Kitchens; Retail Food Stores; Physical Activity; Food Policy Organizations and more. Additionally, the reports detail a comprehensive guide of the many food-related resources available to residents within their neighborhoods to support them in eating healthier. The Hunter College New York City Food Policy Center has compiled this information from various sources, presenting it in a user-friendly format to help NYC residents and communities better understand their local foodscapes.
