The Trumansburg Food Pantry is supported by an outstanding team of dedicated volunteers, strong community interest, and assistance from the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, the United Way of Tompkins County, and our local organizations, grocers and farms. It takes a village, and together we make it happen! For more information contact Donna Holzbaur, Coordinator at 607-279-8257.
