It's the most wonderful time...to volunteer! ❄️ Last weekend, we hosted several of our donors for a festive volunteer event at our Baltimore headquarters. Together, they packed 2,000 pounds of pasta to provide 1,700 meals for those in need. After their shift, volunteers enjoyed hot cocoa and shared stories about their passion for volunteering, creating a meaningful and joyful experience. Thank you, volunteers! #MarylandFoodBank #EndHunger
