As children across the state return to some form of schooling this school year, we remain committed to providing young Marylanders with access to the food and nutrition they need to succeed. While schools face many uncertainties this year, one thing is for certain – MFB’s steadfast belief that no child should go hungry will eclipse any potential challenges to feeding kids in need.
Generous support from public and private sources allowed the food bank to provide food and funds directly to community organizations across the state.
One of the few constants of this past year was change, and that has been no different for the Maryland Food Bank and our network of community partners that have stuck by our side. But NOW is the time for us do even more to continue feeding Maryland’s recovery, while building solutions for tomorrow.
At the Maryland Food Bank, nutrition is not the latest buzzword nor a short-term fad. Distributing more nutritious food, and helping educate food-insecure Marylanders about how eating a healthier diet can improve their lives is what we do each and every day.
Fiscal Year 2021 was a year unlike anything the Maryland Food Bank has seen in its more than 40 years of existence. COVID-19 drove an unprecedented number of Marylanders into food insecurity, but your generosity allowed us to rise up and meet the need.
