Feeding Northeast Florida: How to Get Food
Feeding Northeast Florida does not publish who qualifies, so the pantry decides — here is what it does say, and who to ask. It is a regional food bank, so it supplies pantries rather than handing out groceries itself: below is how to find the one near you.

Do I have to prove my income to get food from Feeding Northeast Florida?
Feeding Northeast Florida does not publish a requirement either way. Each partner pantry sets its own, so ask the pantry before you go. Do not assume you are turned away: most pantries in the Feeding America network serve anyone who says they need help.
How do I actually get food from Feeding Northeast Florida?
Groceries are only distributed at partner pantries, not at the food bank warehouse. Use the map on feedingnefl.org/find-food-now/, searching by address or zip code, to find free groceries or a hot meal at a food pantry, soup kitchen, shelter or mobile distribution. Filters show sites open today and sites offering extra support such as nappies or delivery. A mobile pantry schedule can be downloaded from the same page.
When is Feeding Northeast Florida open?
Not published centrally. Hours are shown per pantry on the official map, and the page itself warns that partner hours change and advises calling ahead to verify before visiting.
Does Feeding Northeast Florida cost anything?
Free. The page describes the groceries and meals as free.
What do I need to bring?
Not stated on the Feeding Northeast Florida page we read. Bring an ID and something with your address if you have them, and bags or a box for the food — but do not stay home for lack of paperwork; most pantries take you anyway.
