The Actors Pantry

Since 1923, The Episcopal Actors’ Guild has provided emergency aid to New York performers “of all faiths, and none.” For most of our history, this has meant helping clients pay rent, utility bills or medical expenses; however, an alarming number of performers have told us they don’t have enough to eat. 

In response, EAG created the Actors Pantry. Now, when a performer comes for financial assistance, they’re able to leave with a bag of nutritious, delicious groceries as well.
