At the Howard County Food Bank in Ellicott City, MD, we provide essential food assistance to families every month with a welcoming, grocery-store-style shopping experience. Our clients can choose from a variety of offerings, including fresh produce, dairy products, frozen meats, baked goods, and shelf-stable foods, ensuring they receive the nourishment they need. We also provide a range of health and hygiene products, including feminine hygiene items, diapers, wipes, baby formula, and allergy-friendly foods. Our clients can shop twice a month, and we offer assistance with applying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
