MD Food Drive & Law Enforcement Recruitment Event

  • VFW Post 160 2597 Dorsey Road Glen Burnie, MD, 21061 United States (map)

Join VFW Post 160 in Glen Burnie for a Maryland Food Bank Drive on May 23rd, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM. Help local families in need while supporting your community veterans.

In conjunction with the Food Drive we are hoping to have several local Police agencies recruiters join as at our location to talk to people about potential job opportunities. As of 3/12, Annapolis City PD will be onsite. We will update the list as more acknowledge.

Why this matters

  • Food insecurity affects neighbors across Anne Arundel County. Your donations make an immediate difference.

  • The Maryland Food Bank partners with local organizations to distribute food efficiently and equitably.

  • Hosting the drive at VFW Post 160 strengthens community ties and showcases veteran-led service.

What we need

  • Nonperishable food: canned proteins, peanut butter, rice, pasta, canned vegetables and fruit, shelf-stable milk, low-sugar cereal.

  • Personal care items: soap, shampoo, toothpaste, diapers.

  • Financial donations: cash and checks accepted at the Post; monetary gifts allow the Maryland Food Bank to purchase perishable and culturally appropriate items.

How you can help

  • Drop off food or donations at VFW Post 160 on May 23rd between 11 AM and 4 PM.

  • Volunteer to sort and box donations during the event — contact the Post to sign up.

Community impact
