Coronavirus NYC Food Resource Guide: Morrisania/Crotona
As New York City faces increasing closures and changes to everyday life due to coronavirus (COVID-19), the HUNTER COLLEGE NYC FOOD POLICY CENTER aims to provide additional resources and support to community members whose lives are impacted by COVID-19.
Below is a resource guide with the following information: meals for children, meals for seniors, retail food stores and their delivery/benefits policies, local food pantries and soup kitchens, resources for homeless people, resources for immigrant populations and resources for people with disabilities.
The Center has also included citywide organizations and additional resources for New Yorkers, which are applicable to community members outside of NEIGHBORHOOD as well. If you have family, friends or co-workers in other neighborhoods, please refer to our website where we will publish additional reports. Please always call the listed organizations before visiting to get the latest information about their services, as many are changing daily.

- Must be unable to prepare nutritious meals or have no one to do so for you
- Must be able to live safely at home if services are provided to you
