BALTIMORE RAVENS #FEEDTHEFLOCK
Earlier this month the Baltimore Ravens announced the launch of the 26th annual Ravens Family Food & Funds Drive. Over the past 26 years, the Ravens have supported the Maryland Food Bank (MFB) as the largest charitable food provider in Maryland. For more than 40 years, the Maryland Food Bank has been leading the fight against hunger in Maryland. The MFB supports a food assistance network of more than 350 community organizations that collectively provide nearly 1,450 distribution points across the state. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, MFB distributed enough food to provide 62 million meals in 2021. Throughout the entire month of November, fans have been encouraged to donate to the team’s fundraising efforts. On Tuesday, November 30, efforts will amplify for the annual Giving Tuesday Phone-a-Thon at the food bank’s Baltimore location, as the MFB will team up with WBAL-TV 11, WBAL NewsRadio and 98 Rock to host the event. Throughout the day, fans are encouraged to call the food bank and make donations. To learn more and make a donation, fans can visit a local Baltimore Safeway, the Ravens Food and Funds Drive Team web page (mdfoodbank.fenly.org/drive/baltimoreravens-feed-the-flock/) or scan the Maryland Food Bank QR code (above).
