Press Room

Information and tools for journalists and media organizations covering the Maryland Food Bank or hunger in Maryland.

The Maryland Food Bank is an anti-hunger organization serving 21 Maryland Counties and Baltimore City. Through our network of 760 community partners, we source and distribute food to Marylanders facing food insecurity across the state. We also work to address the root causes of hunger, through workforce development programs, research and advocacy, grantmaking, and facilitating connections to other government and community benefits. We are excited to speak to members of the media.

Members of the media are encouraged to email media inquiries or call (443) 297-5167 for more information.

Our Impact

The food you help provide to Marylanders in need has an impact that reverberates throughout our state. It provides a foundation for children to learn, helps struggling working families get back on their feet, supports older adults, and allows neighbors to focus on more productive pursuits than finding food.

Our Approach

We’re using new tools, new resources, and a wealth of data to make things better for Maryland’s children, older adults, and working families.

Our Blog

Up-to-the-moment stories and updates.
