Nourishing Neighbors

Nourishing Neighbors

Broadford Lake Park Mountain Lake Park, MD

The 2026 Nourishing Neighbors program kicked off in July with its free fresh produce distribution and resource exchange. FCS educator Kenzi Mousch shared valuable tips on selecting and using the proper kitchen equipment, including which knives work best for cutting specific food items. Participants gained practical skills to enhance their cooking experience and had the chance to sample a delicious crunchy vegetable wrap made from vegetables included in the produce boxes! University of Maryland is excited to kick off another season of Nourishing Neighbors and looks forward to seeing you there! See upcoming exchanges below.

Deep Creek Pottery 1550 Deep Creek Drive (back side of The Fort), McHenry

Looking for a fun group activity that also helps the community? Deep Creek Pottery invites you to gather your friends, coworkers, or club and make an empty bowl to help fight hunger in Garrett County. Gather a group of at least 6 people. Cost is $10-$15 per person. Set up a time that works for your group, and bring snacks and wine if you'd like. Make a bowl using pinch, coil, or slab techniques under the guidance of a skilled potter -- or paint an already-fired bowl with help from the instructor. Your bowls will be fired, finished, and donated to the Empty Bowls Dinner this fall, which raises funds to fight food insecurity in Garrett County. Go home knowing your group did something good for the community while having fun together. The Empty Bowls Dinner will be held on September 20, 2026, at Wisp Resort for the benefit of Garrett County Community Action Food Security Programs. To schedule your group, contact Deep Creek Pottery, 1550 Deep Creek Drive, McHenry, MD. Call 301-501-1619 or email deepcreekpottery@gmail.com. UNTIL AUGUST 31

Hey Sugar Ribbon Cutting

Hey Sugar by Mullenax Bakery 255 N 3rd Street, Oakland

Come celebrate this HUGE milestone with us as we officially cut the ribbon at Hey Sugar! What started as a dream, a home bakery, and a whole lot of late nights has turned into my very own storefront, and it would be sweet to have our community there to celebrate with us. Whether you’ve ordered from us for years, recently discovered Hey Sugar, or just want an excuse to grab something sweet, come celebrate with us! I wouldn’t be here without the incredible support of my family, friends, customers, and community. This moment means more to me than I could ever put into words.
