CHJCC Food Pantry Celebrates 5,000 Home Deliveries Through DoorDash Partnership

The CHJCC Food Pantry currently serves approximately 600 families each week, including roughly 200 households receiving home deliveries. This delivery service is reserved for seniors, homebound individuals, and people with disabilities who are unable to visit the pantry in person.

“While we would love nothing more than to be out of business because every family in our community has enough food, the reality is that food insecurity remains a challenge right here in Crown Heights,” said Bella Vilenkin, Director of the CHJCC Food Pantry.

“Reaching 5,000 deliveries is an important milestone, but what matters most is the families behind those numbers. Every week, we see firsthand how many people depend on our food pantry. Through our partnership with DoorDash, we’re able to reach those who cannot come to us and make sure they receive the assistance they need with dignity and care.”

Project DASH, launched by DoorDash in 2018, partners with food banks, food pantries, and community organizations to provide home delivery of essential resources.

The milestone highlights CHJCC’s continued commitment to addressing food insecurity and supporting vulnerable members of the Crown Heights community.

Beyond its Food Pantry, CHJCC provides a wide range of community services, including public benefits assistance, housing support, employment services, senior programs, and community advocacy.
