Food Bank

What is the Food Bank?

St. Mary of the Assumption Parish is one of the local churches that helps to support the Marlboro Food Bank. The Marlboro Food Bank is housed at Trinity Episcopal Church located at 14515 Church Street, Upper Marlboro. At St. Mary’s, food is collected at the Masses on the first full weekend of each month and is transported to Trinity Church by volunteers for distribution on the second Saturday of each month.

What type of Food is Needed?

St. Mary’s collects non-perishable food items such as peanut butter, jelly, soup, cereal, spaghetti noodles and sauce, canned vegetables, canned meat, tuna, canned fruit, fruit juices, etc.

How Can I help?

  • Donation of Food: You can drop off food items (as described above) inside the side door of St. Mary’s church on the first full weekend of each month. Please always check the expiration date on donated food since the Marlboro Food Bank cannot accept expired food.
  • Help with Transporting Food from St. Mary’s to Trinity Episcopal Church. Anyone wishing to volunteer to help with the food bank may contact Sharon Bookwalter at 301-627-3255 or sbookwalter@stmaryum.org. Volunteers are needed to transport the food to Trinity during the second week of each month. If interested, submit the online Volunteer Form and specify “Food Bank”.
  • Sorting Food and Distribution of Food: Volunteers are also needed at Trinity Church on Thursday evenings and Friday mornings preceding the second Saturday of each month. Distribution is made beginning at 7:00 A.M. on the second Saturday of each month. Please contact Trinity Church if you can help at 301-627-2636, Tuesday-Friday, 10 A.M. – 2 P.M..

If you are in need of food, please contact Trinity Church at 301-627-2636, Tuesday – Friday, 10 A.M. – 2 P.M.
