CFAAC’s New Food Insecurity Fund Grants $40K to Combat Hunger

The Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC) has launched the Food Insecurity Fund, a new initiative dedicated to addressing the urgent and ongoing challenge of hunger throughout Anne Arundel County. The Fund’s first grant of  $40,000, distributed to the Anne Arundel County Food Bank (AACFB), is already helping local families put food on the table amid growing demand and reduced government support.

While recent government cuts have brought renewed attention to food insecurity, CFAAC’s 2025 Community Needs Assessment Report: Poverty Amidst Plenty VIII, Building Community Together highlights that hunger has been a persistent challenge across many parts of the county.

The newly established Food Insecurity Fund pools contributions from community members of any size — with no minimum or maximum — to help make a difference for local nonprofits working directly with neighbors in crisis.

“The need is real and growing,” said John Rodenhausen, CEO & President of CFAAC. “With the Food Insecurity Fund, we’re giving residents a way to come together and make an immediate, local impact for families who are struggling to afford nutritious meals.”
