Local Farm to Food Bank Program Continues to Grow

The Montgomery County Farm to Food Bank program — a partnership between the Montgomery County Food Security Task Force, the Department of Health and Human Services, Manna Food Center, the Montgomery County Food Council, the Montgomery County Office of Agriculture, and the Greater Washington Community Foundation — has collectively invested and committed over $630,000 in local farms to support a sustained and resilient local food supply and provide more nutritious and culturally diverse produce to residents who experience hunger. Since July of 2020, over 112,235 lbs of fresh, locally produced food has been purchased or donated to over 30 food assistance providers, creating over 90,000 meals for the Montgomery County community.
