Rockville is home to Nourish Now, Montgomery County's food-recovery food bank — rescuing surplus food and redistributing it through weekly neighborhood distributions — plus grassroots touches like a Little Free Pantry micro-cupboard stocked around the clock.
Nourish Now's Distributions
Nourish Now — (301) 330-0222 — runs its operation from 397 E Gude Dr and posts weekly community distributions including Tuesday 1–2 p.m., Wednesday 1:30–2:30 p.m., and Friday 4–5 p.m. windows at its Horners Lane site, with offsite morning distributions listed on Montgomery County's food assistance page. As a food-recovery organization, offerings lean toward fresh rescued food and vary week to week.
