The Maryland Food Bank is a non-profit organization leading the movement to end hunger in Maryland. It has an extensive network of community and organizational partners across the state that distribute food to the Marylanders who need us.
Maryland Food Bank supplies food to hundreds of food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and faith-based organizations that serve food-insecure Marylanders. We supplement this work with outreach programs that provide direct food assistance, educate the public on the importance of good nutrition, and fight hunger through innovative means.
