Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver Announces County Employees Collect Over 1 Ton of Food for the Maryland Food Bank

This holiday season, Wicomico County partnered with the Maryland Food Bank in hosting a County-wide employee food drive. The goal of the aptly named "1-Ton Challenge" was to collect one ton of food for the Maryland Food Bank. Over the course of the challenge, Wicomico County employees came together and surpassed the goal, collecting 2,317 pounds of food for the Maryland Food Bank. This food will provide 2,780 meals to Maryland residents.

"The Maryland Food Bank is a great organization that works to feed our hungry neighbors each year," says Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver. "It's been great to see Wicomico County employees get invested in the "1-Ton Challenge" to help the Maryland Food Bank this season."
