For more than 30 years, the Southern Maryland Food Bank and Outreach Services have been helping to fight hunger in our community. Our primary mission has been to supply emergency food to nearly 30 food pantries operating in Charles, St. Mary’s and Calvert counties. In response to the growing hunger needs of the community, the Southern Maryland Food Bank also manages several programs that include: a local food pantry, a community garden and the delivery of healthy groceries to at risk children and senior citizens.

The goal of the Welcome Home Reentry Program is to help people returning to the community from incarceration to find and follow a path to a new life and avoid recidivism. We do this by creating a support network for each person who wants it beginning with a volunteer mentor who provides support and encouragement and holds up a vision for a better life. Together the returning citizen and mentor overcome big and small obstacles on route to finding a job, a safe place to live, and a community of support.

Special Request: Returned citizens who qualify are encouraged to become mentors: your experience is very valuable.
