The Greater Lansing Food Bank is a non-profit organization that provides emergency food to individuals and families in need. Food is distributed through an extensive network of food pantries and community kitchens located throughout the greater Lansing area. The Food Bank annually serves tens of thousands of people, many of them seniors and children. Our recipients also include the “working poor,” those individuals who are employed but don’t earn enough to make ends meet. Click HERE for a GLFB Fact Sheet. The Greater Lansing Food Bank also provides food through our Garden Project and Food Movers programs.
