Ways to Give
Host a Food Drive with CLARYN Foundation
Rally your school, workplace, or neighbors around a shared mission. By hosting a traditional or virtual food drive, you supply nutritious meals and critical resources to families all across Maryland.
Why host a CLARYN food drive?
Every donated can, every dollar raised, and every shared social post helps CLARYN Foundation deliver fresh produce, pantry staples, nutrition education, and referral navigation to households facing food insecurity. Food drives are also a powerful team-builder—employees, classmates, and congregations see firsthand how compassion becomes tangible support.
