Make Beds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace: July 17, 2 - 6 p.m.

SHP - Howard County is part of a national organization that builds bunk beds for needy children in the community.

Volunteers are needed, as well as donations of new bedding for single/twin beds and monetary donations for wood and mattresses. Drop off bedding in the blue bin in the lower level of Glen Mar. Checks can be made out to Glen Mar Church with "SHP" in the memo.

Contact shp@glenmarumc.org to volunteer or get more information on this build.

Help Baltimore Students With Their Education

The College and Career Prep program would love donations of computers and money to purchase hard drives and software to help youth in Baltimore with their education.

Learn How You Can Help

College and Career Prep is currently making sure that youth in Baltimore have computers and internet access for e-learning. This is particularly important now because one of Glen Mar’s partners in Baltimore, Little Flowers Early Childhood & Development Center, is expanding its after-school program to all-day e-learning for about 100 elementary-age children, who will need the equipment to access daytime e-learning with their schools.

Donated money will be used to buy hard drives and software needed to rehab surplus donated computers and new ones if there are sufficient funds.

Send a check made out to Glen Mar Church/College and Career Prep to Glen Mar Church, 4701 New Cut Road, Ellicott City, MD 21043.

Questions? Email collegeprep@glenmarumc.org to volunteer.

Additional Opportunities to Serve

Donate Food, Household Supplies and Grocery Gift Cards to HEHHC

All of the Help End Homelessness Howard County families would be grateful for donations of food and household supplies. When you live on a low income, you do not have the money to purchase even basic necessities, and that is the situation our families currently are in.

If you are interested in donating food, household supplies, or grocery gift cards to these families, Adrienne is willing to deliver them to the families we serve. Limited pick-up is available or you may order online and have the items delivered to Adrienne's house. Please email Adrienne at hehhc@glenmarumc.org to make arrangements.

Drop off Food and Supplies at Day Resource Center at Set Times

Help the most vulnerable in our community by dropping off food and supplies at the Day Resource Center, 10390 Guilford Road, Suite A, Jessup.

Please visit www.daycenter.org for a list of needs and days/times to drop off. NOTE: No clothing donations are being accepted at this time. Please see their home page for COVID-19 updates.
