Maryland is home to more than 750,000 people who do not have enough to eat.
Despite its status as one of the wealthiest states in the nation, Maryland communities are deeply impacted by food insecurity. While the homeless remain the most visible faces of hunger, the need for food assistance is rising among children, seniors, and working families.
With today’s stagnant wages and the steadily rising cost of living, some individuals are working full time and still struggling to put food on the table. In fact, 38% of food-insecure individuals in our service area earn too much to qualify for federal or state relief. This means that thousands of food-insecure Marylanders rely solely on the food bank and other hunger-relief agencies as they struggle to meet their basic needs.
You can make a difference. There are many ways that you can help us fight hunger in Maryland. Whether volunteering in our warehouse, donating food and funds, or letting your elected officials know how you feel about the issue, your actions are the building blocks of our hunger-relief movement.
Food assistance is available to any Frederick County resident who is in need. No referral is needed in order to visit the food bank. Please refer to the Maryland Food Bank website for more information.
