Info

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.
