When we say “We Are Maryland’s Food Bank,” we truly mean we. Without your support we would not be able to provide healthy and nutritious food for Maryland’s children, seniors, members of the military, and working families who want to lead productive lives, free from the burden of hunger. We do this because food is a basic human right. We do this because we can remove some of the barriers to self-sufficiency by the act of providing food.
The Eastern Shore encompasses eight of the twenty-one counties we serve in the state of Maryland, and is home to nearly 45,000 individuals who are food insecure. We’re dedicated to helping them reach their full potential by expanding our hunger relief efforts in the region with a $1.5 million investment in infrastructure and operational improvements.
Costco partnership means hundreds of thousands of meals for hungry Marylanders.
In an effort to alleviate stress on food-insecure Marylanders around the holidays, we have been visiting partner agencies across the state to bring some much-needed holiday relief directly to those who need it most.
As the state’s largest charitable food distributor, the Maryland Food Bank is uniquely equipped to distribute large amounts of food from one place to another. We gratefully accept donations from grocery stores and retailers statewide, and most recently, we’ve received donations of historic proportions from Food Lion stores across the state.
