A Baltimore County community food center will get $800,000 in federal funding to renovate their facility. AfriThrive Inc.’s community food center provides fresh, nutritious, and culturally appropriate foods to immigrant and low-income families in Baltimore County and Baltimore City. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobooks secured the federal investment through Fiscal Year 2026 Congressionally Directed Spending. That’s why we fought to secure this federal funding to support AfriThrive’s efforts to help more Maryland families put food on the table,” Van Hollen said. AfriThrive is doing the essential work of ensuring families across Baltimore County and Baltimore City have access to fresh, healthy foods.
