Since 1980, the Maryland Food Bank - Eastern Shore has provided food assistance to rural populations in some of the most food-insecure areas in the state. As part of this effort, the Farm to Food Bank Program teams up with more than 70 local farms to harvest fresh produce to feed hungry Marylanders, and the food bank relies on volunteers to lend a hand. The food bank also needs volunteers at the Salisbury facility to help sort and process food for distribution to communities across the Eastern Shore. For more information on volunteer opportunities in our farm partners’ fields or at the Salisbury warehouse, contact the Maryland Food Bank - Eastern Shore at (410) 742-0050.
