Resources

Baltimore Free Farm: They run something called Food Rescue Day where they distribute free food every Wednesday at noon.

Maryland Food Bank: Not sure if this is the right fit for you, but they do look for partners that can serve as pantries. 

Baltimore Orchard Project: They grow fruit trees around the city and distribute them at various sites. I’m not sure their current capacity but you could try reaching out and seeing if they are looking for more distribution partners.

Produce In a SNAP: This is a program launched by Hungry Harvest in Baltimore City. The food isn’t free but it’s at reduced cost.

Gather Baltimore: $7 you can get a large blue bag (think IKEA blue bags) stuffed with a variety of produce. Folks need to follow them on Facebook to see what is available, but they could be a potential resource/connection/partner.
