On March 13th, the WeFeed Team went around to the Star of the Sea Church, the Eastern Shore Chapel, and the Salvation Army and talked to the managers of their food pantries. All three were very receptive of the idea, and the Star of the Sea Church and Salvation Army put us in contact with other food pantries that they work with that might also be interested in the program.

Over the past year, the We Feed program has brought in 45,817 pounds of food, or 38,180 meals, for the Foodbank and affiliated organizations. This food has helped the less fortunate in our community get through another day and go to sleep with a full stomach. It is the effort of our partners like Church of the Good Shepherd and Gethsemane Community Fellowship Baptist Church, and many others that have made this possible. If you too believe that no one should go to bed hungry, then contact us. Together, we can make a difference!!
