The Anne Arundel County Food Bank is excited to celebrate the launch of its Mobile Food Pantry. The custom 2021 Ford F-59 Step Van will give the food bank the ability to deliver fresh produce, frozen lean meats, and shelf-stable foods directly to the communities where transportation and shopping choices are limited.
The mobile food pantry holds approximately 3,000 pounds of food and basic necessities, allowing us to serve about 100 households with each visit. Six racks store shelf-stable items and a refrigerator and freezer contain perishable and frozen items.
