COVID-19 Food Distribution

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Baltimore County Department of Aging (BCDA) has expanded its food distribution efforts by providing food “kits” to the County's older adults, specifically individuals age 60 and older, until the senior centers reopen to the public.

Inside the Food Kits

Food kits include:

• A heart-healthy box of canned vegetables, soups, grains and pasta
• A box of fruits and vegetables
• A box of dairy products, including milk, eggs, yogurt and cheese
• A small frozen chicken

Only one kit per household. Individuals must live in Baltimore County or be a current member of a Baltimore County senior center.

Boxes will be distributed by appointment only at the following locations on Wednesdays, from 10 to 11 a.m.
