Contact Eats Atlas
Eats Atlas is maintained by a small editorial team and a much larger network of community contributors. The most useful way to reach us depends on why you're writing.
Suggest a new pantry, food bank, or meal site
We no longer run a location directory (see why), but we're still glad to hear about volunteer-run church pantries, mutual aid groups, and seasonal pop-up distributions that deserve wider awareness — especially ones missing from foodpantries.org. If you know one, send us:
- The official name of the organization
- The full street address (including ZIP)
- A phone number where someone actually answers
- Their distribution days and hours
- Eligibility requirements, if any
- A web link, if they have one
Email submissions to listings@eatsatlas.com. We verify every submission by phone before publishing — typical turnaround is 5-10 business days.
Report incorrect information
If a listing has a wrong address, an outdated phone number, hours that haven't been right in years, or a pantry that has closed permanently, please tell us. The faster we hear about a stale listing, the fewer wasted trips other families will make. Email corrections@eatsatlas.com with the listing URL and what's wrong.
I need food right now and can't reach a pantry
We are not an emergency service and we don't have a phone line. If you need food today and can't navigate the directory:
- Dial 211 from any phone — it's a free, confidential, multilingual social-services line that can connect you to the nearest emergency food box and often arrange transportation.
- Text FOOD to 304-304 for the USDA's automated nearest-meals-program lookup.
- Call the National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479) — staffed by live operators who can route you to immediate help.
Press, partnerships, and data licensing
For media inquiries, partnership proposals from food banks or 211 centers, or questions about licensing the directory dataset for other public-interest projects, write to partnerships@eatsatlas.com. We're happy to share our data with other non-commercial efforts at no cost.
Privacy and removal requests
If you operate a pantry listed in the directory and would like the listing removed or modified, write to privacy@eatsatlas.com. We will action verified requests within seven days.
What we can't help with
- SNAP applications, denials, or appeals — contact your state social services agency or a free legal aid clinic
- WIC enrollment — contact your county health department or local WIC clinic
- Disputes with a specific pantry or food bank — please speak with that organization directly
- Cash assistance, utility help, rent help, or housing — call 211
Thank you for caring enough to write. Every correction, suggestion, and submitted listing makes the directory better for the next family that needs it.
