Montgomery County Expands School-Based Food Assistance
Montgomery County is investing $2.3 million in the FY26 School-Based Food Assistance Grant Program to support children and families facing food insecurity. The funding, managed by the Office of Food Systems Resilience, will sustain food distribution at more than 60 Montgomery County Public Schools sites and expand services to 30 additional schools.
Thirteen community organizations will deliver the services, including Manna Food Center, The Upcounty Hub, So What Else, Nourish Now, and Nourishing Bethesda. Together, the programs are expected to reach more than 9,000 households with culturally relevant food offerings such as pre-packed produce boxes, family choice markets, and prepared meals tailored to dietary needs.
This is a Montgomery County, Maryland announcement.
