Food banks, soup kitchens and food pantries in Frederick MD

The Foodbank Program operated by the Frederick Community Action Agency (FCAA) provides a three- to five-day supply of food to families and individuals who are facing an economic crisis and cannot afford to buy their groceries. The FCAA Foodbank serves between 600 to 800 households each month ranging from very low-income families who use the foodbank on a regular basis to moderate-income families who are facing a financial crisis and need food assistance. Foodbank hours are: Monday: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm; Tuesday: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Wednesday: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm, Thursday: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Friday: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm. The Soup Kitchen Program provides a full evening meal, seven nights a week from 5:30 to 6:30 pm to anyone in need of a hot, nutritious meal. Most of the men, women and children using the Soup Kitchen are homeless, but some are very low-income renters (including senior citizens) who come to the FCAA for a free meal in order to help make ends meet. The Soup Kitchen Program has been in continuous operation by the Frederick Community Action Agency (FCAA) since 1984.
