The House of Hope Garrett County, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing shelter, food, clothing, and other support services for individuals and families in need, will host its annual donation drive on Saturday, December 7th, in downtown Oakland. The event promises to bring the community together for a day of generosity and outreach, benefiting those facing hardship across Garrett County and the surrounding areas.
The annual donation drive will take place in the heart of downtown Oakland, where local residents, businesses, and community organizations will come together to collect monetary donations and essential items for those in need.
Volunteers from various local groups will gather along Second Street to accept donations. These donations will directly benefit individuals and families struggling with homelessness, food insecurity, and financial hardship.
The event will also feature involvement from local youth groups who will volunteer to collect donations and assist with event logistics. Community members will be encouraged to drop by and give what they can to support the cause.
House of Hope’s donation drive is just one of many initiatives the nonprofit will host throughout the year to meet the ongoing needs of the community. The organization offers emergency financial aid and a food pantry to support individuals and families on their path to stability.
While non-perishable items will be collected, financial contributions are encouraged. Those wishing to donate money can do so either in person at the event or through a secure online platform on the House of Hope website. All donations will directly fund the organization’s critical programs, helping to make a lasting difference in the lives of local residents.
As winter approaches and the need for shelter and support grows, House of Hope will continue to be a critical resource for individuals and families in crisis. The nonprofit is planning additional events and outreach programs throughout the year, including food drives, volunteer opportunities, and educational workshops, all aimed at addressing the root causes of homelessness and poverty in the region.
For those who may be unable to attend the donation drive but still wish to contribute, House of Hope will welcome donations year-round. More information about how to donate, volunteer, or get involved will be available on their website.
