It's the 25th anniversary of the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive! The food bank hosted a kickoff at its distribution center, and we're encouraging the community to provide donations by their mailboxes on Saturday, May 13.

This Mother’s Day, join me in honoring all working moms by supporting mothers who need some help feeding their families.

During my time at the food bank, I've met so many women who are working and raising children like I was, but doing it without enough food. And as hard as it was for me, I know it can be much harder.

A donation of leafy greens from BrightFarms made Earth Day a little fresher for lots of families in our area.

In the national health care debate, there is one fact that both the left and the right agree on: Americans spend the majority of our dollars on end-of-life crisis care and very little on prevention. Why?

Our community needs grocery stores – not just corner stores – within reach of every neighborhood.

Hunger knows no age, no race, no religion and increasingly, no zip code. The Capital Area Food Bank is committed to tackling this tough challenge, and to finding ways to reach children, seniors, and families with good food no matter where they live.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is making a big investment in hunger relief and wellness in our area. To kick things off, they joined us for a day of volunteering!

By giving generously this holiday season, we can all make a big difference. 12 friends of the food bank have also signed up to match any gift made before the clock strikes midnight tonight, up to $100,000. Join us!

Whenever I see boys and girls begin trickling into one of our after school meal programs, I know they’re thinking about all the things that have happened that day – with their teachers, friends, families. But most of all, they’re thinking about food.
