Every day The Salvation Army helps cure hunger by providing nutritious meals to neighbors in need.

Here in Michigan, one out of six children face food insecurity.

The Salvation Army works to ensure that every member of our community has the food they need to thrive. If you face hunger, we want you to know that you are not alone.

Community Meals

The Capital Area Salvation Army offers a Community Kitchen which serves a nutritious meal to go. We work with other Lansing area nonprofits and agencies to provide nutritious, filling meals to those in need.

The Lansing Salvation Army Center for Service located at 525 N. Pennsylvania Ave. serves sit down lunch on Monday and Friday starting at 12:00 pm. Saturday's are sack lunches to go starting at 12:00 pm. All meals will be served while supplies last.

 

Food Pantry

In many ways, America is the land of plenty. But for 1 in 6 people in the United States, hunger is a very real struggle. Many people believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small pockets of society, certain areas of the country, or certain neighborhoods, but the reality is much different.

Right now, millions of Americans are at risk of hunger.  These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot always make ends meet and may be forced to go without food (from Feeding America).

Households in need of food can receive supplemental assistance from The Salvation Army Food Pantry one time each month.  The amount of food each household receives is based on the number of individuals in the family/household.

Serving families and individuals in the Tri-county area, appointments are not necessary at the Center for Service during these specific times:  9:00 am to 11:30 am and 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm M-F.

 

 

 

You must have with you at the time of your arrival:

  • Picture ID for all adults, if your address is different than your ID, than mail with new address from the last 30 days is required
  • School ID, medical cards or social security cards for children under 18

All other zip codes please call 211 from a land line or 866-561-2500 from your cell phone.

These times do not include Federal Holidays or times of extreme weather.
