Food Drive
During the October Food Drive the JHWN collected 1497 items of food for the Emergency Food Closet! Way to go ladies!
Dear JHU Women's Network,
Thank you for the generous contributions of food to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center’s emergency food closet. The 1527 items collected were greatly appreciated.
We appreciate you continuing support to this very important program. Your contribution will allow us to continue to provide food to the individuals and families in our community. Thank you for your sincere donation.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Beth L. Donovan
Community Relations Coordinator
The Emergency Food Closet provides a 3 day supply of food to persons in need. Referrals are made and need verification through local human services agencies or the Medical Center's Social Work Department. The primary source of support for this program is through the annual canned food drive at the Medical Center, where contributions of food and funds provide about 3 tons of food. Efforts are coordinated with other food closets in the area, and resources shared when possible.
