The Southern Maryland Food Bank works to ease hunger in Southern Maryland since 1983. The document discusses the difference between being hungry and experiencing hunger. It notes that over a quarter million Maryland residents have experienced hunger at some point in their lives, and the face of hunger has changed - it can be families making $40,000-$60,000 per year, seniors, the disabled, or two-parent homes. The economy, poor decisions, and bad investments have caused those who previously donated to food banks to now require assistance themselves. The Southern Maryland Food Bank helps anyone experiencing hunger.
