We know many Marylanders are feeling the impact of the ongoing SNAP shutdown — and we’re here to help. 💛

The SNAP Shutdown Emergency Info Hub provides one easy place to find food resources, community support, and volunteer opportunities across the state.

🔗 Visit: https://bit.ly/SNAPHelpMD

You can also access it through the Food System Resiliency Council (FSRC) page here: https://mdem.maryland.gov/Pages/food-resilience.aspx

Together, we can help ensure no Marylander goes hungry.
