The Lansing Food Pantry has regular hours for Lansing residents on the 4th Monday of every month.  Because the Foodbank of the Southern Tier has suspended Mobile Truck pantries due to the pandemic, however, the Lansing Food Pantry will also be open on the 2nd Monday of the month from 10-noon as a Drive Thru Only until further notice, with no residence restrictions.  The Lansing Food Pantry is located in the Lansing Community Recreayion Center (The RINK / The FIELD).

Foodbank of the Southern Tier has a food finder link that lists programs across Tompkins County and the Southern Tier.
