Copo Halal Food Pantry

The Council of Peoples Organization (COPO) Halal Food Pantry was founded in the aftermath of 9/11 by business owners in Central Brooklyn to serve Arab and Muslim communities facing discrimination, and today operates the largest halal food pantry in Brooklyn. COPO serves over 35,000 people annually through its food pantry and other programs including immigration services, job placement assistance, and a halal Meals on Wheels program, supported by a staff and volunteer base of more than 125.
