“It takes me back to when I was a child in the inner city where food was a lot scarcer. When your neighbor up the street couldn’t get out or had health issues, so you took what you had and shared with them. To me the food bank is that neighborhood, that village I grew up in. It lets me know that I’m not alone — lets me know that people still care for people.”
MFB’s Strategy Group uses critical tools to enhance existing programs with new ideas and partnerships that expand food access and address the underlying causes of food insecurity for more Marylanders.
Before COVID-19 really highlighted the issue of hunger in our state, you helped us feed some of Maryland’s more vulnerable populations, creating a partnership that not only lifted up these neighbors in need, but the entire state.
Your support allows us to strengthen local communities by providing our partners with the means to do more for their neighbors in need. Because of you, we can continue using grants as part of our strategy to invest in our network and ensure these partners are able to meet the day-to-day needs of hungry Marylanders.
Learn how our refreshed strategic plan will allow us to lift up Maryland through nutritious food and expanded pathways out of hunger.
Check out the latest local and national news about the Maryland Food Bank and how we’re addressing hunger in our communities.
