Notes from the nonprofit
Our 80 year-old Food Pantry building (an old beach house converted to a food storage warehouse) has significant structural issues that require rebuilding. We are distributing food from a trailer and a truck on the property, and we stage and store food at three other locations. Over 40 volunteers help with the weekly pantry openings. Based on a tripling of our client population, we propose to double our square footage in a replacement facility that is ADA compliant and energy efficient, to better serve our clients in the future. Our fundraising goal is $1 million. Our clients include 39% senior citizens, and 18% single mothers. 93% of our clients live in Calvert County. There is no income threshold to become a client. Clients are offered eggs, milk, fresh produce, meat, and non-perishable food at each visit. In 2021, we had 3832 client visits. A donation to our Rebuild Project will help us serve clients for the next 30 years.

Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is open 8 times per month, and is staffed by 40 volunteers. No income threshold is
required to become a client. Our clients are food insecure, meaning that they need extra food to stretch their budget. Clients are offered eggs, milk, bread, fresh produce, meat and non perishable food at each visit.
Clients can come to the pantry more than once per month, as needed. In 2021, we distributed more than
200,000 pounds of food to our clients. Our client composition is 37% African American, 3% Hispanic, and
60% white. 18% of the households are headed by a single parent. 34% of the households have children
under 18. 39% of the households are headed by persons over 65 years of age. Many do not have reliable
transportation, so either come with a friend with a car, or walk, or postpone pantry visits until they have
transportation .
