About Maryland Food Bank

For more than 40 years, the Maryland Food Bank ("MFB") has been at the forefront of the fight against hunger, ensuring that families, children, and seniors across the state have access to nutritious food and opportunities for a better future. MFB's clear and compelling mission is:

Feeding people, strengthening communities, and ending hunger for more Marylanders.

As a statewide leader in hunger relief, MFB does far more than distribute food—it works to address the root causes of food insecurity, creating pathways for long-term stability and advocating for a more equitable, resilient, and accessible food system. MFB is a proud partner food bank of .

Rising Demand & the Reality of Food Insecurity in Maryland

In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, more than 47 million Americans still struggle with food insecurity.

The COVID-19 pandemic devastated individuals and families, leading to a sharp rise in food insecurity. Since then, record inflation, soaring food costs, reduced federal assistance, and other factors have continued to drive demand even higher. Today, with 1 in 3 Marylanders facing hunger, demand is at record levels.

The need for the work of the Maryland Food Bank has never been clearer and more important.

MFB is pioneering new models of food distribution alongside workforce development and advocacy to create lasting change:
