get through some of the toughest days of the pandemic,” said Alsobrooks. “Food insecurity remains an issue in Prince George’s, and this funding will help provide fresh groceries and prepared meals to some of our most vulnerable residents. We encourage local

and/or are recovering from the pandemic, as defined by HUD Qualified Census Tracts (QCT).
