The Kent County Food Pantry, located in downtown Chestertown, Maryland, is dedicated to providing supplemental food to individuals and families with limited incomes. Their goal is to ensure that all qualified clients in Kent County receive sufficient food to meet their basic nutritional needs. The pantry offers a wide variety of food options, including fresh produce, meat, fish, dairy products, and non-perishable items, as well as toiletries and seasonal clothing. With a focus on serving residents of all ages, including those with disabilities, low-income elderly individuals, children in low-income households, and families with part-time or low-paying jobs, the Kent County Food Pantry strives to make a positive impact on the community by addressing food insecurity. Through the support of generous donors and partnerships with other organizations, they are able to extend their reach beyond their physical location and provide food assistance to individuals in other parts of the county.Generated from the website
