Claim your Business Profile

Claim your pantry’s location to help people find you online. Help your clients learn more about your services by adding new pantry-specific attributes like “grocery pickup,” “meal service,” or “requires appointment.”

Step 1

Open Google Maps, search for your food pantry and select the correct one.

Tip

If your food bank or pantry does not already appear on Google Maps, you can create and verify a new Business Profile.

Tip

If your pantry is co-located with another business you can claim the existing pantry listing, or establish a new Business Profile with the same address. Someone at this address must be able to receive mail for you within the 30-day verification period.
