We've announced our largest investment yet through ENOUGH Initiative grants, with funds going to 30 communities in 13 counties across the state. In Frederick alone, ENOUGH funding has provided free vision screenings to over 1,000 students and delivered nearly 8,000 pounds of fresh food to local families through mobile produce markets. By working in partnership, we're empowering communities and surging record resources directly to the neighborhoods that need them most. Every dollar we've invested has leveraged an additional four more from state agencies and philanthropic partners. As Maryland moves forward, we will leave no one behind. fredericknewspost.com/news/e…
