MISSION FOCUS

August’s mission focus is FELT. (Feeding Empty Little Tummies). We are in our 11th year of providing backpacks of food every weekend and break for those students in need at Mays Chapel Elementary School. We will start out this year with eight children. That number will fluctuate throughout the year as circumstances change or families relocate.  Making sure the children have access to nutritious meals when they are not in school enables them to concentrate in school and succeed in life. They are our future! We have an amazing and generous corporate donor that FULLY funds this mission! We are grateful for their continuing support. 

As always, THANK YOU for your generous and consistent support of Mays Chapel missions. Your willingness to provide “hands on” and monetary support lets Mays Chapel reach out to those in need near and far. Anyone wishing to share ideas, get more information or become more involved please get with any missions team member.

 

Community Volunteer Tool
 
The Baltimore County Department of Aging Volunteer Center has developed an online tool for volunteers.
 
The Baltimore County Volunteer Center Portal will serve as a central hub for volunteer recruitment in the Greater Baltimore
and Maryland community.
 
The free portal aims to make it easier for nonprofit organizations to connect directly with potential volunteers, eliminating the need for cold calling or emailing. People interested in volunteering would also find opportunities more easily by simply heading to the portal and searching the more than 80 organizations that have listed their needs there.
 
Organizations listing their needs on the portal include service-learning projects, court-appointed agencies, and local volunteer groups spotlighting their initiatives. They can also register their agency and post their volunteer needs directly on the portal for free. All organizations large or small are encouraged to avail themselves of this resource.
