The United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has
granted
MAGNET funds
to initiate our
three year “Food Security through
Empowerment Project” in Maryland.
We
have opened a satellite office
in Baltimore, within the walls of
the Center for Poverty Solutions at 2521 N.
Charles
Street, from which we aim to
serve a network of communities in Baltimore City and the
surrounding counties.
Similar
programs will be coordinated through our
existing office in Prince George’s county
and a soon-to-be-determined one in another county.
The goal of the program is to ensure a
comprehensive approach to meeting
Maryland’s food needs, specifically access to nutritious foods by low-income
individuals and
families.
We
seek to establish an integrated statewide
food security
network that
organizes and links the food producers in
the region with the food consumers in lowincome communities throughout Maryland.
Our objectives include:
imotivating and mobilizing 2,000 lowincome volunteers per year in 400
