UEmpower of Maryland gives a hand up by identifying areas of genuine need and bridging resources to create solutions that Empower our community. Our flagship program, The Food Project, addresses two key challenges in our community: food insecurity and youth unemployment to help stop the cycle of poverty. The Food Project hires at-risk youth to produce and distribute meals each week and run a popup market to distribute food and resources to the community.
““In this court room we often discuss solutions on how we stop this (the cycle of crime and violence). And here it is you (The Food Project) are doing just that. You are on the front lines of this.” “You are already making a difference because you made a difference in his life. And you are making a difference out there. So I implore you, don’t stop. You are an unsung hero in Baltimore and I appreciate that.” “I admire you very much, Ms. Suazo, and I will remember you.”
