OUR MISSION
No one in our city should go hungry.
Behind the name
In 1727, Benjamin Franklin founded the Leather Apron Club, a circle of tradesmen and neighbors who believed their city could be better. We carry that spirit across all five boroughs, serving free, nourishing meals to the communities we call home.

Nourishing meals
Every meal is made to nourish, not just to fill.
What we stand for
Every borough
The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
Open to all
Free for every member of the community.
Every meal is a step toward a hunger-free
New York, one borough at a time.
