LIVING & GIVING CLOSE TO HOME
Our Mission
Founded in 1986, the Anne Arundel County Food Bank (AACFB) was established to collect, purchase, and distribute food to not-for-profit organizations in Anne Arundel County. We work alongside local, county, community, and civic organizations to provide essential basic necessities to those in need and to help families and individuals get out of crisis and become self sufficient.
The Need
There are 33.352 Anne Arundel County residents living below the poverty line. However, this does not represent the true extent of poverty as the cost of living in Anne Arundel County is well above the federal poverty line. This creates a huge gap for those who need assistance but do not qualify for government assistance. The Anne Arundel County Food Bank assists these families out of crisis by providing costly basic necessities.
Your Support Makes This Possible
The Anne Arundel County Food Bank not only distributes food to pantries, soup kitchens, back-pack programs, and special events, but also assists with furniture, appliances, medical equipment, holiday support, back-to-school supplies, and special requests to improve our clients' quality of life and ensure basic needs are met. AAFCB assists over 40,000 unique households and servesover 1 million meals annually.
