Open Hands of MD

Open Hands of MD is a nonprofit that assists neighbors in need with free food and household items. We participate in food recovery efforts to reduce food waste from grocery stores as well as warehouses. We assist in connecting neighbors in need with other humanitarian aid organizations.
