    Info

    The Herbert H. Lehman Food Bank is a campus-based food pantry operated by Lehman College's Basic Needs Center, fighting food insecurity among college students by providing free groceries, fresh produce, and pantry staples. Students can choose from canned vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, grains, eggs, snacks, and seasonal fresh produce during a dedicated weekly distribution. The program also offers grab-and-go snacks, online grocery cards, cooking demonstrations, and broader basic-needs support. Since opening in March 2017, it has served over 112,000 meals and continues to grow — distributing more than 11,800 grocery bags to nearly 700 unique students in the 2024-2025 academic year alone.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Bedford Park accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Bedford Park do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in Bedford Park that’s open today: St. Brendan St. Ann Parish, Creston Avenue Baptist Church (Food Pantry), St. James Food Pantry, Part of the Solution (POTS) - Food Pantry, Christ Disciples International Ministries, Inc — Food Pantry

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Bedford Park for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 or on WhatsApp between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.

  21. Can I get a reminder before my visit?

    Yes! Tap the bell icon on any resource page to set a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

  22. Can I build a weekly food schedule?

    Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits in Bedford Park for the week, so you always know where to go and when. It’s a great way to plan ahead and make sure you have food throughout the week.

  23. How do I get help from a real person?

    You can text our helpline at 90847 or reach us on WhatsApp between 10am–6pm, every day of the week. A real person will help you find food in Bedford Park, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
