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.

Every year, on May 6th, we celebrate National Nurses Day – a dedicated day to honor the contributions of nurses to our healthcare system and society as a whole.
More Than Just Caregivers: Essential Healthcare Partners
Nurses are the backbone of the medical field. They work tirelessly across various settings, from bustling emergency rooms to serene hospice care. They are the first line of contact for patients, offering comfort, expertise, and unwavering support throughout their healthcare journey.
Our APWU Health Plan members can call our 24 hour confidential nurse line, 1-866-873-8738 to speak confidentially with a nurse by phone.
Celebrating Their Strength
The past few years have been particularly challenging for nurses, who have bravely faced unprecedented health crises. They have worked long hours, under immense pressure, putting their own well-being at risk to care for others. On National Nurses Day, I want to acknowledge their strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication.
This National Nurses Day, I’d like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to all the nurses here at the APWU Health Plan and in the community who dedicate their lives to caring for others. I want to acknowledge the long hours they work, the emotional challenges they face, and the unwavering commitment they display every single day.
