FoodShare
FoodShare is a program that supports
local food pantries and soup kitchens through the distribution
of federal surplus commodities. A part of the Maryland
Emergency Food Assistance Program, FoodShare distributes
approximately 2 million pounds of food per year to over
140 food pantries and 40 soup kitchens located in Baltimore
City.
Soup kitchens receive deliveries of frozen meat, as
well as nonperishable foods that are used to prepare
warm meals for those in need. Food pantries receive
deliveries of nonperishable foods such as juices, canned
meat and fish, vegetables, pasta, cereal, and desserts
that are distributed to families in the area to prepare
healthy meals at home. The FoodShare program operates
from a 10,000 square foot warehouse located in Southwest
Baltimore.
