Below is a map that shows the location of food pantries in the U.S. in 2020 by county. There are over 48,500 in total.
If you zoom in and click on each marker, you can see the location and information of each pantry, including the street address, latitude, longitude, and pantry name. If you zoom out, you can also see Alaska and Hawaii.
A few things to consider:
- If I couldn’t find the exact location, I put the pantry at the center of the city, town, or location in which it resides
- The name of the pantry might not always be exact or accurate
- This is a snapshot of pantries in the US in 2020. That was 5-years ago and some pantries might no longer exist and many more likely opened.
If you are interested, here is an academic paper I wrote that is based on these data (although there isn’t a perfect match between the analysis I used in the paper and the pantries shown here).
I made this map in R!
