October is End Hunger Month
The Maryland State Senate and Calvert County Board of Commissioners declared October as End Hunger In Calvert County Month.
We have partnered with Calvert County Public Schools for the month of October to create a county-wide food drive. Families can donate non-perishable food items that will feed our Calvert County neighbors who need it most. It is a great opportunity to teach your children about helping others in the community.
You can also donate online to our virtual food drive using the link below.
Suggested Food Items
The list below has suggested items that you can bring to the food drive through your child’s school.
We highly recommend involving your kids in the process! They can help pick items from the grocery store shelves and even choose to donate their favorite snacks or meal items.
