Emergency Food Assistance Program

The Emergency Food Assistance Program in Hyattsville, MD, is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity by connecting individuals and families in need with emergency food resources. Acting as a vital link between over 30 local community pantries and shelters, we ensure that those eligible receive food assistance at no cost. Participants can access up-to-date listings of nearby pantries and soup kitchens, allowing them to schedule appointments to collect groceries. We encourage individuals to reach out for information on transportation options if needed, and to have the required documents ready, including photo identification and proof of eligibility such as an Independence card or paystubs. Our mission is to provide immediate support to those facing food challenges, fostering a healthier community one meal at a time.
