The Maryland Food Bank has officially wrapped up our annual holiday box packing event, Pack to Give Back. Each year, local business communities across the state help us purchase thousands of pounds of traditional holiday foods for hungry families; and in return we invite these sponsors to experience firsthand the impact and generosity they’re spreading by joining us at our facilities to pack up the meals!
In addition to participating in annual events, volunteers from the Bank of America also come to the food bank on a monthly basis to help support the mission of ending hunger in Maryland.
In celebration of Hunger Action Month, we’re highlighting some very special individuals and organizations who have set the bar high for hunger action with their unwavering commitment to helping Marylanders in need. Each week in September, we plan to spotlight a handful of inspirational figures and explore the collaboration and generosity that moves our mission.
Perdue Farms, the parent company to Perdue Foods and Perdue AgriBusiness, believes it is their corporate responsibility to use their resources to make a positive impact in the fight against hunger.
The volunteers gathered at William Pinderhughes Elementary School were as diverse as the city of Baltimore itself. Community members of all ages, MFB volunteers, school leaders—and, at the heart of the event, the Baltimore Orioles entourage—joined together to distribute food to households in need.
Check out the latest local and national news about the Maryland Food Bank and how we’re addressing hunger in our communities.
