Harvest for the Hungry

Having access to healthy food should be a right, not a privilege.HHHWebArt SM2012Feb16

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, a continuing proud sponsor of Harvest for the Hungry, has joined forces with United Way of Central Maryland’s Access to Healthy Food Initiative to fight hunger and broaden access to healthy food. With your generous donations of healthy, non-perishable food items during the week of March 3 - 10, together we can help our neighbors in need and help end hunger in our state.

During this 26th year of Harvest for the Hungry, remember that HUNGER TAKES NO HOLIDAY.

How does it work?

1. Leave a bag of healthy, non-perishable food by your mailbox anytime from March 3 - 10.

2. Letter carriers pick up your food donation.

3. The food is delivered to local food banks and pantries.
