Nutrition Matters
We are supporting healthy communities in Maryland by feeding bodies, filling hearts, and opening minds through transformational nutrition experiences Support Our Efforts
FoodWorks
FoodWorks students transform donated food, including fresh produce, into healthy and tasty meals for hungry kids in our Summer Club or Supper Club programs. All meals strictly adhere to the USDA’s guidelines for nutrition (MyPlate).

Food, and Nutrition…
Nutrition is key! When people can eat better, they can live better lives. Find out how we’re expanding access to fresh produce statewide.
Why Urban Farming is Important to Increasing Food Access
Urban farming is a key to shoring up Maryland’s food system so our neighbors in need have access to nutritious food no matter the situation.
Local Focus, Statewide Difference
To fully realize a more equitable, resilient, and accessible statewide food system, we must focus on strengthening the local elements, from traditional farms and orchards to the rapidly expanding aquaculture industry that can provide protein and produce while protecting the environment.
People just need to be educated about nutrition. I find that sometimes parents can be a challenge, but kids are always willing to listen and try.
