NY Common Pantry
NY Common Pantry fights hunger and food insecurity through programs that establish long-term independence for its clients. One of the programs, Project Dignity, provides case-management services, including help obtaining Medicare, housing and benefits. Project Dignity also provides homeless clients with a range of concrete services, including onsite showers, laundry, haircuts/shaves, cell phones, and the use of their site as a permanent mailing address.
