SPECIAL EVENTS AND SPECIAL NEEDS

Hunger isn't seasonal, which is why year-round food drives are so important. Our clients depend on your generosity. You can also devote a morning to stocking our pantry and meeting face-to-face the families we help.

​Food Pantry:

At this time our greatest need is diapers (sizes 3–6) and baby wipes. Our food pantry also needs apple juice (not juice boxes), ready-to-serve soup (similar to Progresso or Chunky), jam or jelly, and pasta sauce. Thanks!

We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer food pantry and soup kitchen in Prince George's County, Maryland. We serve homeless and low-income people in the greater Laurel area. We operate entirely with private and public donations of food and financial and volunteer assistance.
