A wrong address sends a hungry family across town for nothing. So we hold the line:
We check real pages
Every listing was verified on an actual web page — the organization's own site whenever possible.
We show our work
Each place lists its source and the date we verified it. No black boxes.
We never guess
If we couldn't verify an address and hours, it's not on the site. Period.

Our missionGood questions
The things people ask us most.
Is the food really free?+
Yes. Every place in our directory serves food at no cost. Nobody will ask you to pay, and most won't ask for anything at all.
Do I need ID or paperwork?+
Most places ask for nothing. A few pantries ask for a photo ID. Each listing tells you exactly what's needed, so there are no surprises.
What if a listing is wrong?+
Hours change — that's why every page says "call before you go." If you find something outdated, tell us and we'll fix it. Accuracy is our whole job.
I need food right now. What's the fastest option?+
Use the "Open right now" filter to see only places serving at this moment. If nothing is open, call 2-1-1 — a real person answers 24/7.
