Every year, I’m proud to lead the APWU Health Plan in our annual Virtual Food Drive for the Maryland Food Bank. This year was no different. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our employees, we’re able to make a real difference in the lives of countless Marylanders facing hunger.
The Maryland Food Bank is a vital resource in our community. They focus an incredible 90% of their efforts on securing and distributing food to those in need. In 2023 alone, they distributed a staggering 41 million meals! Every dollar donated allows them to purchase food wholesale, maximizing their impact. This means that with your contribution, literally every dollar goes towards putting a meal on someone’s table.
This year’s Virtual Food Drive ran from June 3rd to June 28th.I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve raised nearly two thousand dollars.The dedication and compassion of our employees at APWU Health Plan continues to amaze me. Together, we’re making a tangible difference in the fight against hunger.
While the official drive window has closed, the need for food assistance remains constant. If you’d still like to contribute, you can visit the Maryland Food Bank’s website at https://mdfoodbank.org/about/contact-us/ to make a secure online donation.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Virtual Food Drive. Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier Maryland for all.
