​​​​​​​​The Department of Citizen Services is excited to announce a recent partnership with Carroll Food Sunday and the Westminster Rescue Mission to provide food pantry-friendly recipes. Nutrition is such an essential piece of overall health and wellness, and we recognize that when individuals and families experience financial hardship, access to healthy foods and creating nutritious meals can become a challenge. Our collective goal is to ensure families are aware of and connected to local food resources throughout Carroll County; like soup kitchens, food pantries, churches, and other organizations that provide free food to the community. We have worked closely with surrounding food pantries to provide easy and affordable recipes based on the foods commonly received from our local pantries to create healthy meals. In addition to recipes, you will find guidance on meal planning and food preparation.
