According to its website, Carroll County Food Sunday “distributes
a weekly, nutritionally balanced grocery package that is predicated on
household size and is meant to last 3-4 days. It includes meat, eggs, fruits,
vegetables, breads, and milk. Over 400 families a week are served at our
Westminster, Eldersburg, and Taneytown locations.
In an email interview, Frank Baylor, a past president of
Food Sunday said that Food Sunday “started around 1982 from the trunk of Mr.
Jollie's car and has grown to the point where 8,000 lbs. of food are
distributed each week. 250 to 400 families are aided each week…”
“For the sake of human decency, feeding the poor and the
hungry people of Carroll County must be a concern for all of us who are not
hungry,” wrote Jollie, according to the Food Sunday website. “To know
hunger exists and to do nothing is the shame and bane of human life.” Jollie
encouraged the religious community to collect food at their Sunday services for
distribution through a county wide food bank network that was appropriately
incorporated as “Food Sunday.”
The operating budget for CCFS is “supported by community
fund-raisers and direct mail solicitation of county residents. We are grateful
for the churches, individuals, school groups, and service organizations that
raise donations independently on our behalf, and for the local grocers that
donate baked goods. Carroll County Government provides donated warehouse space
in Westminster and utilities….
“Food drives and food donations are also very important in
helping us maintain a reliable inventory of nutritional items year round. We
are constantly purchasing food from a variety of sources based on price and
availability. Our Food Bank Coordinator compares bulk prices at local merchants
with those available from Maryland Food Bank, a large wholesaler in the
Maryland Region. When possible, we take advantage of special deals to stock up
on essential food supplies that can be held in reserve until needed.
Carroll County Food Sunday is governed by a volunteer Board
of Directors comprised of representatives of all sectors of the community. Its
daily operations are managed by two part-time employees – Dennis Fahey, Food
Bank Administrator and Ed Leister, Executive Director.
