This report reflects on two years of implementation of a youth-led, youth-run online food pantry serving youth ages 12-24 in Baltimore, Maryland. We describe the inception of the pantry and share descriptive statistics and qualitative quotations that demonstrate how the pantry helped overcome common barriers to youth food acquisition.
