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.
In preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday, Baltimore Area Community Health Services (BACHS) Healthcare, located in West Baltimore City, reached out to MFB in hopes of supplementing their mental health services with food assistance for their clients in need. The partnership resulted in successful food distribution events that brought joy and hope into the lives of food-insecure families, just in time for the holidays.
Every holiday season, MFB distributes special meal boxes complete with traditional holiday fixings and paired with a turkey to food-insecure families in need. This year as the pandemic makes it harder for more families to thrive and secure food, these holiday boxes are even more meaningful as they help bring some normalcy to an unprecedented year.
