THIS THURSDAY: Cruising Out Hunger in Anne Arundel County

Published: Sun, 09/25/22

LET'S TALK ABOUT FOOD INSECURITY

This Thursday, we all can do our part to help people in our community who are dealing with food insecurity!

Cruising Out Hunger celebrates the actions that our neighbors throughout Anne Arundel County have taken to fight hunger in our community this September. Enjoy a sunset cruise on the Severn River onboard the Harbor Queen. Bring your family and enjoy music by Red Betty and The Ruckus, appetizers by Bread and Butter Kitchen, and chances to win great prizes! A cash bar will be available as well as more opportunities to support the Anne Arundel County Food Bank.

And while this event is meant to be a fun night in support of the amazing work the Anne Arundel County Food Bank does, it is also designed to point out the issue of food insecurity that many of our neighbors face. For more on that, scroll down.

But for now, I hope you can join the Food Bank and others onboard the Harbor Queen Cruising Out Hunger!

I hope to see you onboard!

SOME STAGGERING INFORMATION

The average person is now spending $311 more a month on groceries than this time last year.
Food Bank pantry visits are beginning to echo the record highs we saw at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
