September 1st, 2015 by WCBC Radio

The Maryland State Police and Department of Transportation have once again teamed up with the Maryland Food Bank to host the third annual statewide Hunger Action Month food drive beginning today, Tuesday, September 1.

Throughout September, which is nationally known as Hunger Action Month, Marylanders will have the opportunity to donate nonperishable items at state police barracks and select Department of Transportation offices listed on www.mdfoodbank.org/hunger-action-food-drive. Additionally, individuals who can’t make it out to these locations can use the food bank’s virtual food drive platform at https://fooddrive.mdfoodbank.org to donate food online.

At the end of the month, Maryland State Troopers and personnel from the State Highway Administration will caravan all donated food to one of three regional food bank locations, including the Maryland Food Bank – Western Branch, on Wednesday, September 30 to officially weigh the food donations collected.
