Since 2015, the Black Yield Institute (BYI) has been working to change the narrative on black land ownership and food sovereignty in Maryland. The Maryland Food Bank is proud to partner with BYI to help chip away at the systems and policies that have historically affected communities of color, creating a more equitable food system in our state.
On a bright and cold January day, staff and volunteers of the Maryland Food Bank arrived in Annapolis with a message for state lawmakers: We need YOU in the fight to end hunger.
This year, resolve to help your neighbors in need! The Maryland Food Bank offers many different ways to support our programs that are expanding access to nutritious food while opening pathways out of hunger for more Marylanders.
When Marylanders like Jeni Murphy share their story and tell us what’s really behind the hunger they are experiencing, it illustrates the ripple-effects of a lost resource. These stories give us a glimpse of understanding about deeply a root cause of hunger can affect a family’s day-to-day life.
The more places food-insecure Marylanders can access nutritious food, including healthy produce, the better chance our state has to thrive. Find out how our partnership with another long-standing Maryland institution, Johns Hopkins, is helping neighbors in Baltimore.
Check out the latest local and national news about the Maryland Food Bank and how we’re addressing hunger in our communities.
