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.
The Orioles Wives, The Oriole Bird and Orioles staff members visited the food bank’s Baltimore facility on Wednesday, June 1 to volunteer and explore.
Whether Maryland Food Bank volunteers are in school or retired, gleaning vegetables or sorting canned goods, we appreciate all of the work they do. In 2015, our volunteers contributed 34,000 hours of work to help the hungry across our state. In honor of Volunteer Appreciation Week, we are highlighting some of of our most dedicated volunteers from the last year.
In addition to participating in annual events, volunteers from the Bank of America also come to the food bank on a monthly basis to help support the mission of ending hunger in Maryland.
Check out the latest local and national news about the Maryland Food Bank and how we’re addressing hunger in our communities.
