    Info

    Hungry Harvest Community Markets (also known as Produce in a SNAP) is a network of weekly reduced-cost fresh-produce markets operated by Hungry Harvest in partnership with Baltimore-area community organizations, schools, hospitals, and community centers. Each market features approximately nine varieties of fruits and vegetables on a rotating weekly basis, sold at roughly half the price of grocery stores. The program is designed to combat food-desert conditions in Baltimore City by making fresh, affordable produce accessible to anyone in the community. Markets accept cash, credit, and debit, and visitors can select their own produce at the stand. The 'This Week's Harvest' page on the program website is refreshed every Monday to announce that week's produce offerings and confirm market dates.

  5. How do I get food?

    You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.

  6. Can someone deliver the food to my house?

    Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Downtown West.

  7. What do I have to bring?

    Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Open to anyone in the community.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Downtown West accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Downtown West do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in Downtown West that’s open today: Veterans Affairs – Community Resource and Referral Center (CRRC), Our Daily Bread, Hungry Harvest Community Markets, Food Rescue Baltimore, Sacred House Food Pantry, GEORGE WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY, 4307 LITTLE MIRACLE'S BIG BLESSINGS CHILDCARE CENT, Our Daily Bread

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Downtown West for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 or on WhatsApp between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.

  21. Can I get a reminder before my visit?

    Yes! Tap the bell icon on any resource page to set a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

  22. Can I build a weekly food schedule?

    Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits in Downtown West for the week, so you always know where to go and when. It’s a great way to plan ahead and make sure you have food throughout the week.

  23. How do I get help from a real person?

    You can text our helpline at 90847 or reach us on WhatsApp between 10am–6pm, every day of the week. A real person will help you find food in Downtown West, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
