Food Pantry in Ellicott City, Maryland

FCFA Food Pantry promotes food security for all vulnerable residents of Howard County and neighboring communities. We are a Distribution Partner of the Maryland Food Bank        

                                            

 

Many residents are lacking the resources to provide enough food for their households. Our pantry serves as a means to help provide them with fresh produce, dairy products, frozen meats and other proteins, fresh breads and baked goods, non-perishable foods, and other non-food items including clothing, shoes, hygiene supplies, baby essentials, etc. We collect and safely store food and household products for free distribution to low-income and needy families in Maryland. 

At FCFA Food Pantry, it’s all about the experience for the clients we serve. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our beneficiaries maintain their dignity while seeking services.  Existing literature shows that clients value customer service and choice in the pantry. Research also suggests that this model is a critical part of a community’s effort to end hunger. 

The FCFA Food Pantry is a Client Choice Pantry that allows clients to select their food instead of receiving a pre-packed or standard bag of groceries. The Pantry is supported by donations from individuals, groups, community food drives, corporate foundations, and partnerships with grocery stores and supermarkets. Additionally, FCFA offers an on-site sexual health and wellness clinic which serves as a vital resource for health care access. Our facility offers a complete network of programs for compassionate healing that helps break the cycle of poverty for future generations.

Other programs we have include Diabetes Prevention and Smoking Cessation Program, Vaccination Clinics, HIV/STI Testing and Linkage to Care, COVID-19 Emergency Relief, Empowerment Initiative, Support Group for people living with HIV, and Medical Outreach.
