Why we do this
Last Thanksgiving, a veteran we know fought for years to receive disability benefits. He was expecting 80% coverage. He got 10%.
It was the week before the holiday. He was not in a good place. We found out through another veteran, quietly, the way these things happen in that community.
“We didn’t ask how many people were at the table. We just made sure there was enough.”
We showed up with a full turkey dinner, all the fixings, hygiene supplies, and toys. No cameras. No press release.
We don’t photograph the families we serve.
Their dignity matters more than our marketing.
This happens because of gas in a tank, electricity in a building, and people like you who believe it matters. Every dollar goes directly to the work, right here, right now.

Our Mission
We Believe in Cibus for all at a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level and our mission is to provide Cibus in everyone's lives!
Our local work is geared toward providing essential sustenance, community development services to individuals, veterans and families in need of services within our regional area of Maryland and surrounding tristate area.
We provide spiritual support nationwide through ordaining ministers to become wedding officiants and funeral officiants and educational courses for both as well as online Cibus gatherings.
We address issues such as food insecurity, youth empowerment, and equitable access to resources, focusing on holistic care to foster well-being and dignity.
Our goal is to uplift communities by ensuring everyone has the necessary tools to receive Cibus in their lives, both physically and spiritually, while nurturing the potential of future generations.
