ARK’s Goals

Our organization has paired up with local community-based pantries that provide nutritious food to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Some of our pantries are based in schools and local churches.  We offer a welcoming and respectful environment where guests can access a variety of non-perishable foods, fresh produce, dairy, and frozen goods, depending on availability.

Open to all who are in need, our pantry operates with dignity, confidentiality, and a commitment to supporting well-being. Whether you’re experiencing a temporary hardship or need ongoing assistance, our goal is to help ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.

We partner with local organizations, food banks, and volunteers to keep our shelves stocked and our services running smoothly. Everyone deserves access to healthy food—and we’re here to help make that a reality.

Collaboration and Fundraising

ARK works closely with food distribution companies and manufacturers to distribute food and raise funds through donations and other creative measures, including holding BBQs, trips, excursions, gala’s and various social gatherings to solicit donations.  ARK has already partnered with Better World Books and Brooklyn Book Bodega to receive donations of nutritional books to distribute to low-income individuals and families.  Our books vary from Cookbooks with nutritional information, Self-help dietary guides, and popular science books depicting the science of food. 

Community Partnership

Ark has established strong partnerships with multiple food distribution sites across New York City, successfully providing meals to over 10,000 families to date. This ongoing initiative reflects Ark’s deep commitment to community well-being, as the organization continues to work closely with local elected officials and community leaders to ensure consistent access to nutritious food for families in need.

In addition to food distribution, Ark has partnered with a book distribution organization to donate educational materials focused on food and nutrition. Through this collaboration, Ark is helping to enrich the minds of individuals and families seeking to expand their knowledge about healthy eating and wellness, further supporting its mission to nourish both body and mind.
