BALTIMORE —
Nearly $4 million is heading to several organizations across Maryland in efforts to expand access to fresh and healthy food in areas suffering from food deserts
On Monday, Governor Wes Moore announced that 44 organizations across 18 counties will receive grants through the state’s NourishMD Grant Program

The grants range from $25,000 to $150,000
The funding will help with facility upgrades, equipment purchases and cold-storage spaces
“Every Maryland family, we believe, deserves access to fresh and healthy foods and the ability to put that food on their table in an affordable way, without the barrier of long distances to travel and without the barrier of cost,” said Department of Housing and Community Development Secretary Jake Day
The projects include a permanent food hub in Baltimore’s Cherry Hill neighborhood, a new full-service grocery store in Hagerstown, and year-round food hubs in the Eastern Shore and Prince George’s County
