In partnership with the Maryland Department of General Services, the Governor's Office of Community Initiatives, and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver has accepted an offer from Governor Larry Hogan to receive a tractor trailer load of food kits containing more than 25,000 nutritiously balanced meals.
In anticipation of these food kits, Executive Culver has coordinated a warehouse for delivery, forklifts, and pallet jacks and has reached out to those organizations who could utilize the food kits. The Executive also decided to share this opportunity with both Somerset and Worcester Counties. The recipients in these three counties will include various nonprofit organizations, homeless shelters, aged residents, and those less fortunate.
We are very grateful to Governor Hogan for providing Wicomico County with the opportunity to help feed the disadvantaged and provide benefit to the tri-county area.

Hopefully these food kits will replace SNAP very soon. I am tired of shopping on a tight budget and stand behind a SNAP recipient at the register with Alaskan crab legs and steaks. Gubmint cheese making it's comeback.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen free food that didn't draw a crowd. Many of the claimants will not be "needy." Far from it, they will be the "greedy" ones.
