Food Insecurity Fund



Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County

The Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC) has awarded SCAN a $5,000 grant from their Food Insecurity Fund.

SCAN relies on donations and grants to keep our pantry full. During the first four months of 2026, SCAN distributed food to 572 families of 2,108 individuals, with an average of ten new families seeking food assistance each month. This funding will be used to purchase food for our growing number of South County families in need.

WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL FOR THIS MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT.
