Innovative Programs for Healthier Communities
Since 1979, the Maryland Food Bank has sought to meet the immediate needs of food-insecure Marylanders while simultaneously working to find long-term ways to reduce hunger in the state. Below are outreach programs we’ve designed to help some of the most vulnerable people in our society — particularly children, seniors and the working poor.
FoodWorks
Offers culinary training to low-income individuals, who learn while producing meals for families in need.
School Pantry
Provides food-insecure children and their families with vital nutrition in a stigma-free environment.
Summer Clubs
Provide meals for children who rely on their school’s free meal programs during the school year.
Supper Clubs
Provide children in underserved communities with a nutritious meal and after-school activities.
Farm To Food Bank
Engages farms across the state in a partnership to provide hungry Marylanders with fresh, local produce.
Pantry On The Go
Enables us to transport large amounts of food to areas where other forms of hunger relief are scarce.
SNAP Outreach
Sends outreach workers to community centers to help eligible Marylanders apply for food assistance.
DSS Program
Enables us to distribute emergency food boxes from our warehouse to city residents who qualify for the service.
