The Maryland Hunger Profiles provide accurate, local data on nutrition program participation in each of Maryland’s 24 counties. Over 600,000 Marylanders, or more than 1 in 10 households, live in poverty and struggle against hunger. We hope this information will help inform ongoing community and policy conversations about how we can ensure that everyone in Maryland is able to have sufficient nutrition and the opportunity to thrive.
