Bronx Community Board 7 confirmed on Saturday, April 4 that NYCEDC have authorized the use of the Kingsbridge Armory by NYC Emergency Management in collaboration with the National Guard and NYC TLC for food packaging and delivery.
Families that sign up through this portal can register for a box with 2 days’ worth of food and have them delivered by TLC-registered taxi drivers. Criteria for families are below and TLC-licensed drivers can sign-up here to work on this campaign. They are compensated at $15/hour plus $5/hour for expenses.
Please see below for details on each of these programs.
The GetFoodNYC program is available to you if you:
- Are unable to go out and get food for yourself, AND
- Do not have someone else in your household who can get food for you, AND
- 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 every two days.
- Currently, orders are not recurring. If you need additional food, you should submit a new order. • Orders placed before 11 AM will be delivered within 2 days of the order date. Orders placed after 11AM will be delivered within 3 days of the order date.
- Each person who needs food will be given one box, which is designed to last 2 days.
- GetFoodNYC will deliver to a maximum of 2 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.
- GetFoodNYC will collect information about any dietary restrictions but cannot guarantee those requests can be met, based on food supply
TLC Driver Food Delivery
- The City has created the GetFoodNYC Food Delivery Program to provide food for coronavirus (COVID-19)-vulnerable and food-insecure New Yorkers not currently served through existing food delivery programs.
- We are asking TLC-licensed drivers to participate in this important work by assisting in delivering food to New Yorkers who must stay home.
Signing up is easy:
- Visit www.nyc.gov/DeliveryTLC
- Register by providing your name, phone number, email, TLC license number, and details on getting paid
- Sign up for your first shift in the app
- All drivers who have completed food deliveries will be paid $15/hour, plus a $5/hour mileage reimbursement. No routes will involve tolls.
Drivers will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are not initially selected, we hope to reach you in the days ahead as demand for meals increases. If you have any issues signing up, contact supportnyc@tlc.nyc.gov

Yes;I like it. Eugene Forsyth 2550 Webb Ave., Bronx,NY 10468
Two or three days ago I suggested to the Governor by email that this and other armories be used as emergency facilities because of COVID 19. I moved here in early 2012 and saw that the space was wasted.
Good on you Eugene. It was the right decision.
To whom it may concern my #didn’t know that it.was going to be out in public so is there a way to erase it thank you
Sorry Loletta
I just removed it. Hope you got what you needed. Take care!

Hi I would like to know the dates and time for the armory food hub give away for my family and
Hi Norma, to my knowledge, the armory is just a distribution point. The public cannot go there to collect food. Call 311 for food delivery or go to one of schools where you can pick up food directly. Take care.
