    • Mission

    The mission of Part of the Solution (POTS) is to be a loving community in the Bronx that nourishes the basic needs and hungers of all who come to our door. Founded in 1982 as a soup kitchen, POTS has expanded its mission from feeding its neighbors to nourishing the myriad of needs of the community in a holistic way.

    About Us

    Helping low-income families and individuals since 1982, POTS has grown to become a leading

    provider of emergency food, social services and legal representation in the Bronx. Services span

    a wide spectrum of human needs and are designed to help people move from crisis to stability,

    and eventually self-sufficiency. Currently, services include a Community Dining Room, open

    seven days a week; a Food Pantry; Nutrition Education, Clothing Room, Shower, and Mail

    Facilities; Barbershop; Case Management to help people address barriers to stability; a Legal

    Clinic specializing in eviction prevention and improper denial of benefits; and the POTS Family

    Club, to provide intensive case management, education, social, and nutrition support to a select

    group of families. POTS also holds a variety of seasonal distributions for items such as back-toschool

    supplies, Thanksgiving turkeys and holiday gifts and is host to a Medical and Dental Clinic.
