Driver - CDL A (Baltimore)

The Maryland Food Bank (MFB) is a nonprofit, anti-hunger organization dedicated to feeding people, strengthening communities, and ending hunger for more Marylanders. Operating with a mission rooted in expanding access to nutritious food, MFB targets not only temporary relief but also seeks to eliminate the root causes of hunger across the state. The organization supports a vast network of community-based partners that stretch from Maryland's western mountains to the Eastern Shore, ensuring equitable food distribution to all corners of the state. In the previous year alone, MFB successfully distributed enough food to provide over 41 million meals, which equates to approximately 114,000 meals every day. These meals nourish children, seniors, veterans, and hardworking families, promoting health and well-being in vulnerable populations.

MFB's work extends beyond food distribution to include job training programs, access to supportive services and benefits, and robust advocacy efforts aimed at changing laws, policies, and practices that perpetuate food insecurity. Recognizing that more than one in three Marylanders face food insecurity, the organization focuses on systemic change as a critical element of its mission.

The Maryland Food Bank embraces diversity and inclusion as fundamental values. It aims to attract, develop, retain, and promote a talented and diverse workforce, fostering a workplace culture where all employees can contribute to their fullest potential. This commitment to a positive, inclusive workplace environment aligns with the organization’s broader goals of equity and social justice.
