MARYLAND – No matter if you’re a family with school children, an adult who may have lost your job, or a senior, you can rest assured free food is available this holiday season. That’s thanks to local and state organizations who are working to make sure people don’t go hungry over the holidays. “No one should be hungry during this time of our schools closing,” said Mark Thompson with Emmanuel Wesleyan Church.
Thompson says right now the church is busy with multiple efforts to get food distributed. That includes food delivery on Fridays, and a program where people can pick up food for their friends or loved ones who may not be comfortable doing so. “The face of need has changed. It’s not just the homeless person. These are working people that have either lost their jobs or had their hours cut back,” said Thompson.
