As we hang up our rakes, put away our work gloves and look back on this Day to Serve season, do we really see what’s been accomplished?
Our parks have been beautified, our blood banks have been filled, our roads are void of trash, and our neighbors have been fed. While these are just a few of the reasons why we come together each year, it is really the “coming together” that truly makes Day to Serve such a success.
The Virginia Peninsula Foodbank is a remarkable place. Located in Hampton, Virginia it boasts a huge warehouse filled with shelves reaching two or three stories high and provides food to over 200 charitable organizations in the greater Peninsula area. Since it was founded nearly 30 years ago, it has provided over 117 million meals.
Parks & People Foundation was thrilled to be the beneficiary of the Day to Serve fundraiser with the Baltimore Orioles on September 15. Thank you, to the 120 people who bought tickets through the promotion, raising $600 to support Parks & People’s efforts to make Baltimore a cleaner, greener, happier and healthier city!
