Be a Volunteer: Access to Healthy Food Initiative
1.5 million pounds of healthy food. Help us reach our goal.
More than 300,000 central Marylanders don’t have access to healthy food. Our Access to Healthy Food Initiative aims to change that by annually making 1.5 million pounds of healthy food easier to access for central Marylanders in need.
