The team at this food bank is absolutely phenomenal. I cant say enough good about this program. When times are tough, its great to know there are kind hearted people in our community who volunteer their time and monies to ensure everyone eats.

This place provided food for people who really need it, if you know somebody who really can't pay for groceries then this place is right for them.

Hello. I am a resident in Laurel...Maryland City. Where could I turn for much needed assistance please?

Our Savior Luthern Church on Rt. 198 is open to all Counties. Some churches are only for their county only for some reason. It should not be but it is. Also there is a church in Fulton, MD that also allows all counties at their food bank. Hope this helps you.

I don't think so, but you could call ahead and ask. A friend of mine used to volunteer there and she said they had to throw out expired stuff.
