Reverend Dr. Heber Brown III joins Maryland Food Bank President & CEO Carmen Del Guercio for an engaging discussion on building a more equitable food system that strategically addresses hunger and it’s root causes through collaboration between organizations, community leaders and urban farmers.
You might be surprised to learn that food banks do so much more than provide food.
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.
Meet Tina Crow, a neighbor who unexpected found herself and her family in need at the holidays. Thankfully, she found comfortable relief at MFB Network Partner City of Refuge in northeast Baltimore.
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.
Check out the latest local and national news about the Maryland Food Bank and how we’re addressing hunger in our communities.
