(August 29, 2013) – The State Highway Administration (SHA) is partnering with the Maryland State Police (MSP) during September to collect food donations statewide that will be provided to the Maryland Food Bank during “Hunger Action Month.”

Food donations (canned goods) will be collected at 37 SHA locations throughout the state starting on Tuesday, September 3, the official SHA kick-off for the food drive. Donations from the public of non-perishable foods will be collected through Monday, September 30th.  Food donations can be dropped off between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, at any of 28 SHA Maintenance Shops; seven District Offices or SHA Headquarters in Baltimore, or the Statewide Operations Center in Hanover.

For a list of all 37 SHA locations where food donations can be made visit: www.roads.maryland.gov. Bright orange banners emblazoned with “Hunger Action Month” will be visible at each food collection site.  The Maryland Food bank designated September 5th as “go Orange Day” to highlight the SHA locations with orange food collections barrels.

"Hunger Action Month" Kickoff 2013 

“SHA is pleased to partner with the Maryland State Police and the Food Bank and we urge all citizens to join our harvest of hope to help end hunger in Maryland,” SHA Administrator said Melinda B. Peters.  “Between SHA and MSP locations, there are plenty of places to drop off non-perishable food donations to support people in need in your community.”

Food drive donations are also being accepted at any time throughout September at all 23 Maryland State Police Barracks statewide.  With the support of the public, the goal of the statewide food drive is to fill 60 barrels with donations of food.  At the conclusion of the month-long effort, SHA personnel and vehicles will deliver all the donated food to Maryland Food Bank warehouses throughout the state.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), more than 720,000 Marylanders are uncertain where their next meal is coming from.  Of that number, 460,000 live in the Maryland Food Bank’s service area and these individuals miss about 79 million meals each year because they do not have consistent access to sufficient food for their families.
