Emergency Food Assistance Program

The Emergency Food Assistance Program in Lanham, MD, provides essential food assistance to individuals and families in need through a collaborative network of over 30 local food pantries and shelters. Our mission is to ensure that community members have access to emergency food resources at no cost. Each month, we update the list of participating pantries and soup kitchens, making it easy for you to find support in your area. To receive food, eligible individuals must schedule appointments directly with the designated pantries and may inquire about transportation assistance if needed. We prioritize a supportive and practical approach, requiring necessary documentation such as photo identification and proof of eligibility to help ensure that everyone receives the help they deserve.
