We know many Marylanders are feeling the impact of the ongoing SNAP shutdown — and we’re here to help. 💛

The SNAP Shutdown Emergency Info Hub provides one easy place to find food resources, community support, and volunteer opportunities across the state.

You can also access it through the Food System Resiliency Council (FSRC) page here: https://mdem.maryland.gov/Pages/food-resilience.aspx

Together, we can help ensure no Marylander goes hungry.
