Roy Kelley - Ti's the season to not go hungry. Your community consistently finds ways to promote unity and keep food on tables for those in need.

As Montgomery County residents plan for a Thanksgiving meal like no other, nearly 115,000 of their neighbors are struggling to feed themselves and their families.

Food insecurity isn't a new problem in Montgomery County. Before the pandemic threw millions of Americans into unemployment, 83,700 residents were considered food insecure, according to the nonprofit Feeding America. The continuing economic fallout from the health pandemic has swollen that number to 114,930 who are on the brink of hunger.

In this time of urgent need, food pantries, soup kitchens, elected officials, and other community members are stepping up to provide Montgomery County residents in need with produce, non-perishable goods, and other foods.

Patch has compiled a list of places to find food for the Thanksgiving holiday, which can be found below:

Church of the Redeemer - 19425 Woodfield Rd., Gaithersburg

Hello Roy,  I just heard of a place that had over 600 cars line up for food from a church and was out of food within 90 minutes.  Not good.

It is shocking to see how many folks are in food lines this year.  I drove by one distribution on Monday, and the line of cars was at least 3/4 mile long!
