COVID-19 may be affecting traditional food assistance programs, but it hasn’t changed the passion, dedication, and commitment that the Henderson-Hopkins school is showing it’s community by offering safe drive-through, walk-up, and home delivery food distribution options to their neighbors in need.
Virtual Food Drives (VFDs) are a great way to help support the Maryland Food Bank’s efforts to feed hungry Marylanders through COVID-19 and beyond. You can do them safely from home and have a huge impact on the lives of your neighbors in need.
To meet the growing need as COVID-19’s effects force more Marylanders into food insecurity, we’ve set up an off-site location to build Back Up Boxes, 30-pound packages of shelf-stable, nutritious foods than can be easily packed, transported, and distributed wherever the need is in our state.
Dedicated partners statewide are working tirelessly to keep their shelves stocked, and doors open to keep feeing food-insecure Marylanders. We caught up with a few partners as they picked up orders in our Marketplace.
Hosting a virtual food drive is good for your business. It brings your team together, promotes your business, and helps the communities your employees live and work in. It’s a win-win-win situation!
