Howard County Food Bank

At the Howard County Food Bank in Hanover, MD, we empower families by providing vital food assistance through our family-choice shopping model that resembles a grocery store experience. Our fresh produce, dairy items, frozen meats, and a variety of shelf-stable goods ensure that every household can access the nutritious food they need. We also offer essential items including feminine hygiene products, diapers, baby formula, and allergy-friendly foods. Families can shop twice a month, and we facilitate access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), along with valuable resources for energy assistance, housing support, and early childhood education through Head Start and Prekindergarten programs. Our commitment is to meet urgent food needs while fostering a supportive environment for the whole community.
