Innovative Programs for Healthier Communities
Since 1979, the Maryland Food Bank has sought to meet the immediate needs of food-insecure Marylanders while simultaneously working to find long-term ways to reduce hunger in the state. Below are outreach programs we’ve designed to help some of the most vulnerable people in our society—particularly children, seniors and the working poor.

Engages farms across the state in a partnership to provide hungry Marylanders with fresh, local produce.
FoodWorks
Offers a fresh start to low-income individuals with 12 weeks of intense culinary training. See the FoodWorks website for more information.

Workforce Development
The Maryland Food Bank has a vetted number of training opportunities that lead out of unemployment, and into good-paying careers in the workforce.
