The “Outstanding Partner” award-winning OCA Soul Haven has been an MFB partner for more than two decades, serving the Hagerstown community. Soul Haven is a community beacon for neighbors facing challenges with mental health, addiction, and food insecurity.
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.
The underlying causes of hunger don’t magically disappear after high school, in fact, they can become even more challenging for college students.
From large scale farms to community and backyard gardens, farmers and gardeners off all types play a role in making Maryland healthier.
On one side of West Washington Street, Hagerstown’s biggest food pantry is tucked away behind a small set of concrete stairs and an unmarked door.
Check out the latest local and national news about the Maryland Food Bank and how we’re addressing hunger in our communities.
