    At 4MyCiTy, our focus is on the importance of environmental sustainability, primarily through the sustainable management of food to reduce organic waste. Our programs not only limit the harmful effects caused by organic waste on our environment but also enhance food security for families within the communities we serve. Additionally, we are committed to fostering economic and personal growth through our 4MyCiTy U! Job training and mentoring program, which equips participants with vital skills in sustainable practices and community service, further strengthening our community’s resilience and self-sufficiency.

    Please Note - Our focus is on Environmental Sustainability, 4MyCiTy is not a food bank. We rescue food as part of our sustainability mission and make those rescued resources available to families within our communities.

    Requirements: Participate in both the compost and food program. For our compost program, we will provide compost bags. You just have to bring in your compost in the bag.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Arbutus accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Arbutus do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in Arbutus that’s open today: Holy Nativity Lutheran Church Food Pantry, Southwest Emergency Services, Maryland Food Bank- SNAP Assistance, 4MyCiTy Inc., Catholic Charities My Brother’s Keeper , Beechfield United Methodist Church - Food Pantry

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Arbutus for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.
