Food Banks in Somd

[steppinthrax]

I have a friend who lost his job and has no food. He's on unemployment now but he's trying to make that stretch out. What are the nearest food banks and what are the requirements? Can he just bring his unemployment slips?

Thanks

St. Anthony's in North Beach has one as does Chesapeake Church at the intersection of 2 and 4. He could call either one.

In fact the Dragonboat races next week in North Beach is done in in concert with the End Hunger in Calvert County campaign.

St. Mary's Caring serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday each week. I believe they are also considering adding an evening meal, but I'm not sure if that is up and running. I've donated cash and food to St. Mary's Caring through the years. Good people trying to make a difference.

It might help if the original poster provided a geographic area to make it easier to provide suggestions.

I believe Chesapeake church in northern Calvert County has a food bank, also. Good luck to your friend.

If he needs a 1 time only gift of money for a specific bill, St. Johns in Hollywood is part of an organization that does that. There are restrictions, it is one time only, it is for only under a certain amount ($100 or $150??), it has to go directly to the billing place (i.e. electric bill or rent/mortgage), and I think there are some others. I think they will also do gift cards for grocery stores in some cases. A friend of mine volunteers for them and they get a lot of requests. Good luck, hope he finds a job soon.
