The S.A.F.E. – Supplying Allergy Friendly and Emergency – Food Pantry is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization in Howard County, Maryland. Under the leadership of the Board of Directors, we work to fulfill our mission to educate, inspire, and engage the community about the necessity for gluten free and allergy-friendly food and provide that safe food to those in need.
To serve our existing clients during this health crisis, we are implementing the S.A.F.E. Food Pantry Emergency Assistance Program so our clients get access to the food they need to stay healthy. Our Board of Directors approved this program because we are unable to provide gluten free and allergy-friendly food through our partners at this time. Households that submitted an application prior to March 15, 2020 and were approved for services at the Howard County Food Bank or the Emergency Food Pantry can apply for a one-time $50 grocery store gift card to purchase gluten free and allergy-friendly items. Grocery store gift cards are available for Giant Food, Harris Teeter, Safeway, or Wegmans. The fastest way to apply is online at our website. You can also call or text us at 443-741-1060, or email us at info@safefoodpantry.org . We will return your message as soon as possible.
