Yesterday my daughter and I volunteered at the College Park Community Food Bank. The College Park Community Food Bank is headquartered at the College Park Church of the Nazarene and delivers food to local families on the 3rd Saturday of every month. There is no cost to the families to receive the food. This month, 85 families (family sizes that I saw ranged from 1-8 members) received food from the food bank.
The food bank accepts donations of food, money, and grocery store gift cards. In addition, other donations (clothes, toys, household items) are accepted and made available to the participating families.
My daughter had expressed an interest in volunteering and this was a wonderful experience for her. She felt very proud that she was able to help pack the produce and cereal in the boxes being given to the families. She and I are planning to volunteer at the food bank regularly because it was such a positive experience for us both.
I am grateful to my broker, EOP Real Estate, for bringing this wonderful volunteer opportunity to my attention. One of the things that attracted me to EOP was this focus on community service. There are company community service activities planned throughout the year including: MS Walk in April; March of Dimes walk; Angie Houtz Family Fun Day & Golf Tournament and many more. If you would like information about our upcoming community service activities give me a call.
If you or someone you know would like information about buying, selling, or renting a home in Prince George's, Montgomery, Charles, Anne Arundel, Howard, and/or Baltimore Counties please contact Dr. Stacey-Ann Baugh of EOP Real Estate, LLC.
Donations made to charity with every successful closing!

Stacy-Ann it is wonderful that your daughter has such an interesting in volunteering and it was good you could do so together.
It is so true that there is more happiness in giving than receiving.
Hi Stacey-Ann-
I didn't know that you had kids, yet! The food banks are more in need than ever and I think it's wonderful for you to give your time there and to expose your daughter to the world outside of her. It helps kids gain so much perspective and its amazing how they share that with their peers.
