Neighborhood Food Hub

We believe in a strong, healthy (and well-fed) community!

Visit the Food Hub twice a week!

Since 2020, the YMCA of Ithaca and Tompkins County has sponsored a Neighborhood Food Hub. On Mondays and Fridays from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm, everyone is welcome to stop by and take from a variety of food including fresh produce, dairy, bread, and frozen goods (based on available supply). Sign-in starts at 10:00 AM in the lobby, outside the Food Hub. 

You do not need to be a member of the YMCA to use the Food Hub. However, we ask that you only take what you need.

The Food Hub is supported by the Friendship Donations Network (FDN), the Food Bank of the Southern Tier,  the Ithaca YMCA Annual Campaign, and other donors from the community. If you want to donate food, please bring it to the YMCA Welcome Center. Thank you for helping feed our hometown!
