Settlement Health - Food Distribution Center

New York City’s food banks handle millions of pounds of food each year. Arriving at Settlement Health — Food Distribution Center means tapping directly into that network. The address sits at 212 E 106th St New York, NY 10029, just east of Park Avenue, on the border between East Harlem and the Upper East Side.

Food Distribution Center keeps the supply moving through partnerships with regional growers, retailers, and community kitchens. Offloading truckloads, sorting shelf-stable goods, freezing perishables, and labeling produce crates happen behind the scenes. Matching surplus inventory to agencies is the front-line daily task—loaves to pantries, yogurt to shelters, canned goods to senior centers.

If you need to arrange a donation drop-off or ask about volunteer scheduling, call (212) 360-2600. The line is answered Monday through Friday by staff who track intake shifts and facility access.

Stop by using the map for an immediate route: directions. It’s where surplus becomes support, right along the 106th Street corridor.
