foodcalendar

This is the master file, and it includes not just free, prepared meals, but also food pantries/grocery giveaways. There is a lot of info in here, but ideally, there will be a lot more. It could include:

-whether a given meal program meets common dietary restrictions (e.g. vegan, no peanuts, halal),
-whether it’s within a mile of a bustop, and if so, which one,
-whether there is a barrier to access, such as requiring a photo ID
-whether the organization also offers other services

and maybe other things that are thought of or suggested. In any event, it’s a work in progress, but still a great resource for anyone hungry in the city.

this is the current draft of the handout, 3/9/19.

The meal calendar, as it is, is pretty barebones, just a name, address, and serving times. If we figure out a way to include more information, we will. please send suggestions! also, be encouraged to print this out and distribute it yourself!

For information concerning food pantries/grocery giveaways, view the Food Calendar spreadsheet.

Too often, it seems like basic resources are stuck behind bureaucratic and specialized walls of social workers and government or private processes This project is simply to compile the free meals in Baltimore, so anyone hungry with little or no money can know where they can go for nourishment.
