Belmont Elementary School hosts a powerful school pantry, where a team of experienced and passionate people work closely with food insecure families, offering access to nutritious foods, and critical wraparound services that can help eliminate the root causes of hunger.
Since 2020, Dawn Glover has been helping neighbors escape the stubborn grip of poverty through a holistic program that starts with food to help in the short term. Additional wraparound services like skill-building and job training, financial and social education, and counseling help people in her community stabilize and thrive in the long term.
Choice is an important part of what makes us all feel human. Making choices allow us to feel in control, to let us determine the course of our own lives. That’s why the Maryland Food Bank is working to bring more neighbor choice food pantries, to more communities statewide.
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.
Offering Maryland students and families the opportunity to find relief in the familiar setting of their local schools and colleges is one of the most effective ways to fight hunger.
