Food security is under threat with the current debates surrounding SNAP benefits and rising grocery prices. University of Maryland Extension (UME) is dedicated to assisting Maryland’s communities in accessing healthy food close to home, which is why UME has collected a set of state and local resources for organizations and the public to find food relief, including government assistance, pantries, donation information, and tutorials regarding how to use available ingredients in safe meal preparation.
“One of our main priorities in Extension is maintaining a resilient food system that helps Marylanders access safe, nutritious foods for themselves and their families,” said Dr. Jinhee Kim, Associate Dean of UME. “We strive to serve the needs of all of our communities, with faculty and staff available in every county to help keep our people healthy.”
