Local Stories

Filling the Forgotten School Supply this School Year

This school year, we aim to provide more hunger-free weekends for kids struggling with food insecurity.

Grants Awarded to Organizations Fighting Food Insecurity

Blessings in a Backpack Frederick Chapter received $75,000 to support its weekend food program for youth, which provides food to about 4,300 children annually.

Feeding Kids in Your Own Backyard

Children shouldn’t spend the summer worrying about going hungry; they should be out playing in the sun. This May, get involved and give back to help feed kids who might otherwise go hungry.
