Feeding the community. Together.

Established in 1990, the Kehilat Food Pantry is a branch of the Kehilat Sephardim of Ahavat Achim synagogue. Initially organized to help those from the former Soviet Union who lived under oppression and persecution, the facility has since expanded its outreach to the Queens community with its Food Pantry Program.

The Kehilat Food Pantry has its existence over 34 years and now stands as the third largest Kosher Food Pantry in the United States. It is a Non-Profit Pantry that primarily relies on monetary donations and the contributions of community volunteers. Each effort is placed into preparing and distributing over 15,000 food packages every month which consist of vegetables, produce, and canned goods.

Kehilat Sephardim Food Pantry

Our Mission

Kehilat Sephardim Food Pantry aims to end hunger in the surrounding Jewish / Immigrant communities and beyond by providing Kosher and assorted goods multiple days a week via an open market and client choice system where all of our food is visible and clients can choose what they would like to take for themselves and their loved ones.

We Believe One Should Not Have To Choose Between Their Religious/ Dietary Needs and Going Hungry
