BALTIMORE — For the last eight years, The Food Project has been expanding its services in Baltimore City, transforming lives through comprehensive support that goes far beyond providing meals.
Inside an abandoned school on Pulaski Street, The Food Project serves as a lifeline for hundreds of people seeking free meals. But the organization's mission extends much deeper than addressing immediate hunger.

"It's crucial to provide more than just food if you want a community to be able to get up on their feet and move to the next step," said Michelle Suazo.
The need for The Food Project's comprehensive services continues to grow as Baltimore faces ongoing challenges with food insecurity.
"We have an at-risk population and people who are really food insecure so what we have the ability to do is to provide them with some resources as well as some training that is going to improve and better their lives," Suazo said.
The organization's impact extends beyond immediate relief, creating lasting change in people's lives. Tyree Johnson, who I met last year after he received his license, exemplifies this transformation. He now has goals of owning his own restaurant one day.
