Bethesda Help Back-to-School Food Drive
Ends September 30, 2026
Since 1968, Bethesda Help (bethesdahelp.org/) has been there to provide
food assistance to our neighbors in need in Bethesda and the surrounding areas.
Now, for the 58th time, we are here to help as Montgomery County children return to school. As always, the kids are excited at the start of a new school year, but many parents are worrying that they may not be able to provide the nutritious food their children need to develop strong bodies and minds...and they have reason to be concerned.
Social safety net services have been cut for 4,900 of our county neighbors, including their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. These families are turning to food pantries like ours for help. The increase in food requests, along with the rising cost of the basic food we
purchase for our pantry and a decrease in food donations, means our stock of food is low.
As you can see, your support of Bethesda Help is critical at this time. We stand ready and able to deliver food, but we need your help to keep the Bethesda Help pantry stocked.
