Free food distribution sties in Anne Arundel County beginning next week

SHARE ALERT! from Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman:
The County is stepping up to support Annapolis residents impacted by the federal shutdown and SNAP benefit delays. CE Pittman has announced $500,000 in emergency funds to help the Anne Arundel County Food Bank expand food distributions. Food distribution include an Annapolis location:

📦 3-6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13 at the Annapolis Senior Center, 119 S. Villa Ave.

Food will be distributed until supplies run out.

If you or someone you know needs food support, visit aacounty.org/federal-impacts for dates, times, and locations.

If you are in need of a little extra support, don't forget the AACC Food Pantry offers free food to all students.

Did you know the AACC Food Pantry is available to members of the AACC community? Faculty, staff and current students are able to take up to 30 pounds of food per day. Additionally, AACC Student Engagement hosts free produce markets throughout the academic year.

Students experiencing critical financial needs can also apply for HelpLink, which provides temporary, short-term emergency assistance to cover essential needs, like textbooks and class supplies, rental fees, utilities, child care and food.

If you'd like to support these two services, look for information about the upcoming food drive, donate through the Amazon Wish List or make a HelpLink donation online. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1BN3MF1CEPFLT?ref_=wl_share
