About the College Park Community Food Bank: Established in September 2008 as a ministry of the College Park Church of the Nazarene, the College Park Community Food Bank became an
independent nonprofit in 2021. It is fueled by support from the local community in the form of donations of money, food items, and volunteers. The food bank provides food to any person or family in need without qualification. During the pandemic, the
nonprofit expanded its modest operation to serve more than ten times the families served in pre-pandemic times. It is currently supporting an average of 390 families a week and is on track to
distribute nearly 30,000 packages of produce and other food in 2025. This is only possible because of the support it receives from the community.
