During the holiday season, volunteers across Central Maryland came together to make a meaningful difference. Individual volunteers, partner companies, board members, and membership networks showed up side by side to support families and strengthen communities during one of the most important times of the year.
Throughout the season, Holiday Helpers acted in many ways. Volunteers supported food distributions, helped parents shop for their children, built gingerbread houses with families, assembled winter break baskets, and shopped to ensure households had what they needed.
These moments of service created more than holiday cheer. Volunteers and partners worked together to create relief for parents, joy for children, and stability for families. Whether organizing supplies, assisting families, or spending time with children, each person played a role in making the season brighter.
To every Holiday Helper who gave their time, resources, and compassion, thank you. Because of this collaboration, families across Central Maryland felt cared for, supported, and remembered during the holidays. As we move into the new year, we celebrate what you accomplished together and look forward to continuing this work alongside you.
