The Maryland Hunger Map is helping us make an even greater impact on the loves of hungry Marylanders. We’re using the data to deliver more targeted solutions on a more localized level than ever before. Here’s how.
There are more seniors facing hunger in Maryland than you may expect. From Cumberland to Cambridge, 1 in 20 seniors don’t always know where their next meal is coming from.

Senior hunger is more widespread, and more impactful than you may expect. While Maryland is one of the wealthiest states in the county, more than 1 in 20 senior citizens do not always know where their next meal will come from. Learn how we are fighting senior hunger, and how you can help.
The factors that lead to food insecurity in western Maryland are not always the same as they are in Baltimore city or on the Eastern Shore, so we’ve devised a regional approach to tailor programs that meet the needs of different communities more effectively.
