More locally sourced fresh food making its way to those in need in Maryland – WTOP

From the article:

“Since the recent launch of this program, we’ve been able to source and distribute over 5,000 cartons of eggs; 3,600 gallons of whole milk; thousands of heads of lettuce, and other foods that are nutrient-dense, but also increasingly expensive,” said Adam LaRose, director of advocacy and public policy at Capital Area Food Bank, which serves Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties.

He said the group expects to provide 2.2 million healthy and Maryland-produced meals over the next two years [through the new Local Food Purchasing Agreement program].
