The statewide effort will encourage Marylanders to “Be a Voice” to end hunger throughout September
Throughout September, which is nationally known as Hunger Action Month, Marylanders will have the opportunity to donate nonperishable items at state police barracks and select Department of Transportation offices listed on www.mdfoodbank.org/hunger-action-food-drive. Additionally, individuals who can’t make it out to these locations can use the food bank’s virtual food drive platform at https://fooddrive.mdfoodbank.org to donate food online.
At the end of the month, Maryland State Troopers and personnel from the State Highway Administration will caravan all donated food to one of three regional food bank locations, including the Maryland Food Bank – Eastern Shore, on Wednesday, September 30 to officially weigh the food donations collected.

All month long, Marylanders can also participate in the food bank’s Be a Voice Campaign, an interactive, multimedia collaboration to learn more about the issue of hunger, share stories, and take an active role in fighting hunger. Individuals and groups are encouraged to share photos holding Be A Voice speech bubbles with personal messages about hunger and why they care about the issue. Speech bubbles and information about the Be A Voice Campaign are included in the official Hunger Action Toolkit, available online atwww.mdfoodbank.org/hunger-action-month.
Sounds good in theory, but those who have SNAP cards go and load up, then sell benefits for cash to by beer and cigarettes.
