Catherine’s Family & Youth Services has been offering neighbors in the Edgecombe community access to nutritious foods for years. Recently, the organization’s executive director Valarie Williams has been building pathways out of hunger by developing partnerships with local service providers that are helping locals address hunger’s root causes.
While accessing nutritious food is critical to being able to thrive every day, it takes on an extra level of importance around the holidays. On behalf of the tens of thousands of neighbors whose holidays were made brighter, thank you from the Maryland Food Bank.
Due to the incredible support of Enterprise Rent A Car, Transamerica, the Baltimore Convention Center, and other local businesses, 25,000 Maryland families will be able to enjoy a delicious meal this holiday season.
September marks Hunger Action Month, an opportunity be a part of the nationwide movement to take a stand against hunger and help our neighbors in need. With more food-insecure Marylanders than ever before due to COVID-19, we need you to act.
Learn more about our recent construction project through this Q&A with MFB Board Chair Terry Squyres, who recently sat down with us to offer a peek behind-the-scenes of the food bank’s expansion.
Check out the latest local and national news about the Maryland Food Bank and how we’re addressing hunger in our communities.
