What it says it does
Feed St, Mary's Inc. exists to alleviate food insecurity throughout St. Mary's County, MD with the objective of eventually making St. Mary's County free from hunger. Feed St. Mary's is a Food Bank, serving St. Mary's County, MD. During 2021, the Maryland Food Bank was able to subsidize most of the food distributed by the Maryland Food Bank to Feed St. Mary's on behalf of local food pantries and soup kitchens, which came from COVID relief grants. These grants covered Maryland Food Bank costs. Hence, the cost of food purchased by Feed St. Mary's was held to support, mostly supporting special needs and events as they arose. In 2024, Feed St. Mary's subsidized food purchases for non-Maryland Food Bank pantries to better reach the underserved areas of St. Mary's County. During 2025, with the government on shut down, SNAP benefits and other assistance was temporarily halted. These events caused a significant increase in the need for food assistance.

- $20,038 spent. Feed St. Mary's was initiated under the auspices of the Lexington park Rotary Foundation in 2019. It became an independent 501(c)3 in 2020, just about the time that COVID lockdowns took effect. At this time, Feed St. Mary's also became a partner with the Maryland Food Bank, allowing purchase of low-cost food through this vital entity. The Maryland Food bank, was, in turn, the recipient of COVID relief funds and, for the duration of the Fiscal Year, was able to offer food to its constituent members at no cost. As a result, Feed. St. Mary's was able to fully exercise its mission to stay on top of food demand in St. Mary's County, MD with minimal out of pocket expense to buy food directly in Fiscal Year 2020. During 2025, with the government on shut down, SNAP benefits and other assistance was temporarily halted. These events caused a significant increase in the need for food assistance. Feed St. Mary's worked with local food pantries to keep shelves stocked.
