February was a burgeoning month for the Population Health, Innovation, and Informatics unit using the 360 Access Hub model. 75 guests were served with one-on-one shopping experiences on February 11, 2026. We developed new partnerships within Garrett County Public Schools and had the privilege of providing a place for students to serve! They were incredible assets to the experience. We used additional grant funds to create new and nutrient-dense recipes and purchased the items from Casselman Grocery, which provided a heavy discount! A master’s level intern developed a guide to accompany our Overnight Oats Valentine combination and provided samples to guests through WIC.  The Department of Social Services continues to be present to connect with guests on-site who may have benefit eligibility questions. It was also grant reporting time. Please read our report found here: https://360accesshub.com/impact/Our next 360 Access Hub distribution event will be on March 18th from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m. Our staff will be holding additional hours on Fridays starting March 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to try to accommodate increasing demand. We are still operating with just a few staff members, so helpful volunteers are welcome and encouraged.  We don’t have an official volunteer coordinator yet, so just like in previous months, post your availability here in the feed (remember you’ll have to be signed in to your MyGarrettCounty.com account) and list your preferred job (packer, shopper, greeter, or craft person, etc. ) and the time you are available, and wait for me to confirm via email by COB on Monday, the 16th. We are grateful to help fill the huge gap relating to crisis food in Garrett County.
