SVDP Needs Our Help
Currently, 680,000 Marylanders rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits each month, including nearly 270,000 children and 121,615 adults age 62 and older. The loss of food benefits will strain their already limited resources for covering essentials like food, housing, and health care costs. Additionally, lack of access to nutritious food and resulting food insecurity directly leads to poor health.
Last year our St. Vincent de Paul Outreach Center and Pantry assisted 7,691 people. With the current government shutdown, we're seeing more people than usual and many first timers. People who've never reached out for food. This is stressing our resources. We need your help during this crisis! if you can donate to our pantry, please drop your donations at our "Blue Barn" 651 Ritchie Highway on Tuesdays or Fridays between 10a.m. and 1p.m. or you can let us buy the food by making a tax- deductible donation.
We are grateful for your help.
If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact St. Vincent de Paul at 443-261-0109 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
