EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

COPO’s pantry services ensure no one is left behind — serving thousands across NYC with warmth, respect, and halal-certified support.

5 Million Pounds of Halal Food Delivered And Counting

COPO’s Emergency Food Assistance Program was created in response to the urgent needs of underserved, immigrant, and Muslim communities in Brooklyn — especially during times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic and rising food insecurity.

With a commitment to halal, culturally appropriate food, COPO has distributed over 5 million pounds of food to date and continues to serve thousands of families through weekly and emergency initiatives.

COPO’s food program serves families throughout Brooklyn  and as far as Queens, Staten Island, and Manhattan — filling a vital gap in food equity and access.

what makes our pantry different

COPO operates a “client choice” Food Pantry that distributes over 360,000 pounds of food per year to low-income households who come to us from throughout New York City. As one of only three food pantries citywide that guarantees compliance with Islamic dietary guidelines, our program fills a distinct need and serves families from across Brooklyn and as far away as Staten Island, Queens, and Manhattan.

Why We’re Different

COPO’s HMOW program doesn’t just feed — it uplifts. Every meal is a gesture of community, tailored to honor both faith and need.

 

HALAL MEALS-ON-WHEELS PROGRAM

COPO proudly operates the only registered Halal Meals-on-Wheels (HMOW) program in New York City.
This service delivers nutritious, halal-certified meals twice a week to low-income Muslim Older Adults (60+) living in Brooklyn.

More than a meal, this program offers:

  • Culturally and religiously respectful care
  • Home-delivered support for isolated seniors
  • Consistency, dignity, and connection
