End Hunger In Calvert County
Give WHERE YOU LIVE
Hunger in Southern Maryland is not a food problem, it’s a distribution problem.
Right now over twenty-five thousand families in Southern Maryland rely on local food pantries to provide their next meal. That’s one in nine of us. End Hunger In Calvert County is a nonprofit organization whose name and mission are one in the same. Together we can end hunger, for good.
