Baltimore Hunger Project

As the school year begins to wind down, many children are counting down to summer break with excitement. But for children facing food insecurity, summer can also bring uncertainty.

For many students, breakfast and lunch at school are meals they can count on each day. When school doors close for the summer, that reliable access to food often disappears.

Thankfully, resources do exist. Free summer meal programs are available across Baltimore through school systems and community sites, and Maryland families may also qualify for SUN Bucks to help purchase groceries during summer break.

What other summer resources do you know of for families? Summer camps with meals? Food pantries? Community programs? Drop them in the comments so Baltimore Hunger Project can help build a resource list together.

Hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation!

There’s something really meaningful about this kind of full-circle moment.

The girls from Oldfields School visited North Oaks, where they spent time with residents packing snack bags and writing notes of encouragement together—then delivered everything to Baltimore Hunger Project.

Different generations, one shared purpose.

Those snack bags will help fill weekend hunger gaps, and those handwritten notes will remind our children that they are seen, supported, and cared for.
