Emergency Food Assistance Program

The Emergency Food Assistance Program in Laurel, MD, serves as a vital resource for individuals and families facing food insecurity by connecting them with over 30 local food pantries and shelters. Our mission is to provide dignified access to emergency food assistance without charge, ensuring that no one goes hungry. Each month, we offer updated listings of nearby pantries and soup kitchens, guiding clients through the process of obtaining the necessary help. Participation requires proof of eligibility, including a photo ID and relevant financial documents, making it easy for individuals to receive essential support. While we help navigate the system, individuals are responsible for scheduling their own appointments and picking up groceries; however, transportation assistance options are available through participating agencies. We are here to help you find the resources you need to nourish yourself and your family.
