Harvest for the Hungry
The Maryland Food Bank is hosting a food collection drive next month to help re-stock its network of 1,000 soup kitchens, food pantries and shelters across the state after the harsh winter season. Locally this drive will benefit Frederick Community Action Council and Food Resources in Hagerstown.
This spring, thanks to a statewide effort led by the U.S. Postal Service, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, you can help. Drop off a bag of food at your residential mailbox March 7 – 14, 2009 and representatives from the United States Postal Service, Girl Scouts of Central Maryland and the Baltimore Area Boy Scouts will come by and pick it up. Donations will be delivered to the Maryland Food Bank. Post Offices, Safeway stores, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage offices will also serve as collection points throughout the week.
Visit the Maryland Food Bank site for more information on the program and what food items are needed most. Thanks for the tip Shanna.
