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.
The Maryland Food Bank is continuing to feed hungry Marylanders through the COVID-19 pandemic, with some important changes to ensure we distribute food and run programs as safely as possible.
