Where to Get Daily Free Meals for Seniors in Brooklyn, New York

Many seniors use local pantries and soup kitchens to survive. The extra meal and food that they can get at local centers help tremendously because many of the senior citizens are on a budget which does not allow them to always have money for meals. Between housing and bills, very little is left for anything else. These soup kitchens that help seniors are a big help because even if it is just one meal a day that they are being served for free, it is a meal that they are saving money on.

Here are a few places in Brooklyn where you can go and get a free hot or cold meal. These locations serve food daily from Monday Through Friday.

You can pass this information along to an elderly you may know whether it be a neighbor or someone you might think would need it and appreciate the suggestion. You can even assist in getting them to any one of these senior centers closest to your location if that is possible because many elderly cannot travel on their own. These services are there to help those who are in need and cannot afford it. If you know an elderly who is in need of more assistance, ask them if they would be interested in participating in more programs, call 311 and find out how you can go about doing so to help the senior in need and see if they qualify.
