Martin O'Malley, the governor of Maryland, recently announced that workers and small businesses that have been affected by Allen Family Food's filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy would be receiving state government assistance until they are able to get back on their feet.

Allen Family Foods was a company based in Maryland that was a global exporter of poultry products. The company recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which affected many of the small businesses that sold and purchased poultry through the company.

Now, the state of Maryland is looking to help those small businesses and their workers avoid bankruptcy themselves. According to Gov. O'Malley, "Our administration is working to pull together all available resources to help protect the growers and employees impacted by the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by Allen Family Food."
