Emergency Food Assistance Program

The Emergency Food Assistance Program in Bowie, MD, is dedicated to alleviating hunger by acting as a vital link between those in need and a network of over 30 local food pantries and shelters. Committed to providing immediate food assistance, we ensure that eligible individuals and families receive essential nutrition free of charge. Our program helps you easily locate emergency food resources, offering a monthly updated list of participating pantries and soup kitchens in your area. While we provide the information, it is important for individuals to reach out directly to schedule appointments for food pick-ups. We encourage anyone seeking assistance to inquire about transportation options if needed. To access our services, please bring the necessary documentation, such as photo identification and proof of eligibility, which can include an independence card, pay stubs, or an unemployment notice. Together, we strive to support our community, ensuring that no one faces hunger alone.
