Free "Grab and Go" meals are available for all New Yorkers.

Meals Hubs will operate for children and families from 7:30 am to 11:30 am, and for adults from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.
No one will be turned away at any time.
No registration, ID, or documentation required.
All three meals a day may be picked up at the same time.
