Where's Marty? Checking out the Maryland Food Bank
Hi Everyone!
T.G.I.F.! (The total truth!)
Today was our 4th visit to the Maryland Food bank. This is one story K2 and I agree cannot ever get run "into the ground."
To this day there are still an estimated 2 million Marylanders with "food insecurity," In some areas more so than during Covid. Here is a link to a page from the Food Bank's website that is the Maryland Hunder map.
There you will see this interactive map. It is just shocking.
Today we went to see the newly repurposed HQ. It has more storage, more overall work space, and more ways to package food, and get it distributed,
The repurposed facility also has classrooms, meeting areas, herb gardens, and a kitchen larger than any restaurants I have ever seen. In there, participants are taught restaurant skills that will enable them to get out in the workforce and end their, and or their families, food crises.
It's an amazing program that you can read about here.
A good way to end the week and start a weekend. Good vibes, just like yesterday at Hon's Honey Marketplace. From both of us to you and yours, have a safe weekend and find ya some fun! GO ORIOLES, and GO RAVENS!!!
Marty B!
