Distribution centers offer immediate assistance to the unemployed, low income, senior citizens, disabled, homeless and really anyone who needs help in the community. There is also a toll free referral number at the bottom of this page for more free food locations in Baltimore around the city and county.

Many of the centers are open limited hours and may provide free food up to a certain limited number of times per month. Other sites may provide additional assistance to the low income, such applications to food stamps, free pet food and WIC, and household products such as as baby diapers or gluten free meals. Or the pantries may partner with soup kitchens to provide free Thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas meals in Baltimore.

Oftentimes the assistance is offered for free or at a very low cost to the working poor. So programs terms will vary across the county or city.
