Do not have a family member, friend, or neighbor who lives nearby who can get food for you, AND
Do not receive food from Meals on Wheels, God’s Love We Deliver or a similar service, AND
Are not able to afford food delivery from a restaurant or grocery store.
If you qualify, you should note that:
Each household can only make 1 order per day.
Each person who needs food will be given one box, which is designed to last 2 days.
GetFoodNYC will deliver to a maximum of 3 people in each household.
The amount of food delivered is based on the number of people in your household who need food from this service.
Orders placed after 5 PM will not be delivered the next day, but will be delivered the day after.
GetFoodNYC will collect information about any dietary restrictions but cannot guarantee those requests can be met, based on food supply.

Comcast En espanol We will make it even easier for low-income families who live in a Comcast service area to sign up by offering new customers 60 days of complimentary Internet Essentials service, which is normally available to all qualified low-income households for $9.95/month. Also, we are increasing Internet speeds for the Internet Essentials service from 15/2 Mbps to 25/3 Mbps for all new and existing customers, which will be the speed of the service going forward. In this way, we will ensure that Internet Essentials customers will be able to use their Internet service for all their increased needs as a result of this health crisis.
We want to make it as fast and simple as possible to access this service: To receive the increased Internet speeds, existing customers will not need to do anything.

We’re also reaching out to our thousands of governmental and nonprofit partners to help us spread the word.
