What students say about the Lehman Food Bank

“As a Lehman College student, I recognize that the Lehman food pantry has been some of the best help I have received to maintain a good physical condition that help me continue with my studies.”

“I am an immigrant and a disabled student. My only sources of income are disability and food stamps. I live alone with my boyfriend who is also disabled. I pay all the bills and after paying them there is very little money. I am requesting help now because I would like some help during the holidays. Thanks in advance.”

“The support from our donors goes a long way to help people like me who work full time and still face financial hardship due to high cost of living. I am thankful for the tremendous support of our donors. Thank you!”
