Operation Food Sharing The Anne Arundel County Food Bank, Inc. (AACFB) distributes food and other resources to more than 80 member agencies throughout our county. These agencies include church pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, treatment centers and homes for displaced children. The food we distribute comes to us through food drives and collections, food purchases and USDA.

Special Diet Program This new program is designed to help families whose needs go beyond standard food pantry items. These clients have special dietary concerns such as heart disease, renal failure, diabetes, cancer and Aids. The goal of the Special Diet Program is to ensure that citizens with these diet constraints are not left at risk of hunger or malnutrition which can increase poor health.

AACFB Furniture Program Our food bank has extended it’s services to include the distribution of furniture, appliances and other household items at no charge to our clients through referrals from Dept. of Social Services and other service oriented agencies.

Wheels for Work Many unemployed families find themselves in that position due to lack of transportation. New and used car donations help our Food Bank get these clients on their feet and on the road to independence. Vehicles donated are never sold, they are matched to a family in need.

Campus Corp Is a Service Learning Program at Anne Arundel County Community College that works together with non-profits to help students learn the value of volunteering.

Adopt A Pantry Is a program that matches public libraries and various businesses with a pantry in their vicinity. The library collects food and contacts the pantry to schedule a pick up. Like our other programs, the beauty in this project is the food collected in this area is then redistributed in the same neighborhood. If you would like to support a pantry by collecting food, contact our office.

Soup Kitchen Program Working with the Department of Human Resources, AACFB works to make sure that congregate feeding sites always have a hot meal to offer. In 2000, our soup kitchens served more than 25,000 nutritious meals to homeless and hunry citizens in our county.
