Holiday
Project 2001
The Volunteer Office of the Baltimore County Dept. of Social
Services is sponsoring "Holiday Project 2001" to help needy
Baltimore County families. Individuals and groups determine how
and at what level they wish to participate -- some donors
"adopt" a family to provide food for the Christmas meal and
other non-perishables, a new toy/gift for each child, and perhaps a
clothing item for each family member; some prepare food baskets; others
set up a "Mitten/Sock/Hat/Undies Tree" or a "Giving
Tree" to collect toys, while others raise funds for the purchase of
needed items. To participate or for more information, contact
Deborah Ward, Director of Volunteer Services (410) 853-3024.
Help Our
Youth Improve School Attendance
You can help our youth improve their school attendance by
volunteering for Project Attend. Some of our young people no
longer attend school on a regular basis. Very often, all they need
is a little encouragement to know that someone cares and will be willing
to monitor their attendance. YOU CAN BE THAT SOMEONE.
Volunteers have made a big difference in getting students back on track,
as well as improving the attendance and academic achievements of these
young people. The commitment can be 10 minutes to 1/2 hour per
day. For more information, call Anna Jackson, Volunteer
Coordinator (410) 887-2059 or (410) 887-2075, or email ajackson@co.ba.md.us.
