Customers are offered staples like bread, milk, and eggs; plus, many other items such as meat, pasta & sauces, cereal, peanut butter, canned tuna and chicken, butter, cheese, soups, and fresh produce – our menu changes and is sometimes unpredictable depending on availability.

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.

Caryn Sheckler is returning to TCFA to celebrate the New Year. Join TCFA as we ring in the new year with an afternoon Gong Bath experience. $15.00 advanced; $20 at the door Monday, Jan 1 from 1-2:30pm Location: TCFA Yes! We are opening our main room for this New Year's Day Event. Our gong and gong bath is becoming an annual tradition, and it will include Celestial Communications, a style of seated movement that helps bring on a state of relaxation. A pathway to easily explore the benefits of meditation. Gongs and gong baths offer a super easy way to slow down brain activity and thoughts to lower stress levels almost instantly. In this workshop, we will discuss how different brain waves create different thought patterns and how sound can create overall harmony in our bodies. The workshop will include Celestial Communications, a style of seated movement that helps bring on a state of relaxation. The vibrations of the gongs will wash over you, leading you to a state of profound relaxation and healing. After the gong bath, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and a chance to experience playing the gongs themselves. Profound breakthroughs can occur during a gong bath, so you may want to bring a journal to make notes at the end of this event. Please bring a mat and small blanket to make yourself cozy. Gong Master Caryn Sheckler has been playing gongs for about 10 years. She has studied with internationally renowned Gong Masters Don Conreaux and Mike Tamboro. Caryn is an internationally trained Level 2 Kundalini Yoga Instructor with 20 years experience and teaches senior fitness and chair yoga in Trumansburg.
