Talbot County Department of Social Services Celebrates Resource Parents with Shorebirds Game

The Talbot County Department of Social Services (TCDSS) celebrated its resource families at the annual Delmarva Shorebirds baseball game this July, bringing together resource families, children, and team members for a fun day at the Salisbury ballpark.

At the Shorebirds game, guests enjoyed free tickets, parking, and “Bird Bucks” vouchers to use for food, drinks, games, and souvenirs.

“This event is a special tradition for our resource families and team members,” said Paris Quillet, Special Projects Coordinator at TCDSS. “It’s one of the many ways we show our appreciation for resource parents’ devotion to Talbot County’s children. This event is a meaningful time to celebrate their contributions together as a community.”
