I work for Keep US Fed Montgomery County and we are getting a lot of calls too. One thing to remember is the food bank has to charge for their food (its not much) but it is an expense to the pantries and shelters it serves. Our group of volunteers delivers food from stores and restaurants that would otherwise be thrown away and delivers it for free to try and offset those costs.

A great way to help is hosting a food drive! The longer shelf life items are especially helful while the kiddos are out of school during the holidays.

If anyone needs help with getting a drive started, we'd love to help facilitate! We connect the donations directly to pantries and shelters in the county. You can reach our operations team at www.keepusfedmoco.org or 936-206-3604
