About This Pantry
The Lancaster Food Hub on North Queen Street provides more than just healthy food to people who need it. The organization has three key programs: food, clothing, and outreach for those experiencing homelessness. Established in 1947, its food distribution program offers food to walk-in clients, agency partners distributing food to clients, food delivery to low-income senior residents of Farnum Street East and Church Street Towers, and a community meal network that lets organizations such as churches obtain free food to make free community meals.
