Our favorite time of the year is fast approaching. The holidays are a time to remember what we are most grateful for and how we can give back. We love our community, and for that reason, want to share with you the charities near and dear to our heart.
Give Back with GoGlass
Believe in Tomorrow
“WE BELIEVE in keeping families together during a child’s medical crisis, and that the gentle cadence of normal family life has a powerful influence on the healing process.”
The Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation provides exceptional hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families. They believe that the highest standards of service and unparalleled hospitality help to create a unique healing environment. The exclusive programs bring comfort, joy and hope to children and their families, enabling them to renew their spirits both mentally and physically. Since 1986, Believe in Tomorrow has provided over 900,000 overnight accommodations to families with critically ill children, from every state in the U.S. and more than 82 countries worldwide.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Eastern Shore
“Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with enrichment and strong and enduring, professionally supported relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Eastern Shore works to help children facing adversity on the Eastern Shore reach their fullest potential through one on one mentoring relationships and a broad range of services and enrichment programs.
Operation We Care
Operation We Care packs over 2,000 care packages a year which are sent to deployed troops. OWC strives to support both active duty and veteran military through care packages, events, and a variety of assistance outlets, while also making donations to local law enforcement and Fire departments in addition to many support and appreciation causes.
While the troops that receive care packages are from all over the United States, typically at least one person in the unit has some tie to the Delmarva region. Our law enforcement and Fire Department outreach efforts currently primarily serve Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester, Somerset, and Sussex counties.
Women Supporting Women
Women Supporting Women provides prostheses, wigs, educational tote bags and community related events to educate the public. All services are FREE. Also, support groups are held in the surrounding counties of Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, and Dorchester.
This organization is tax exempt and receives funding from grants, donations through community organizations as well as businesses and individuals. All contributions remain here on the Shore and are returned to our community in various ways. For more information, call Women Supporting Women at 410-548-7880 or contact us.
In addition to these amazing charities, GoGlass also strives to give back throughout the year.
