The Mid-Shore Board of REALTORS is hosting a fundraiser for CarePacks of Talbot County on Wednesday, Feb 6, 2019 from 5:00 to 7:00-pm at Snifters/Hair of the Dog, located at 219 Marlboro Ave. Suite 52 in Easton.
Hair of the Dog is donating 10% of the Food and Drink Sales to the CarePacks program and MSBR will raffle off a $100 wine basket that evening. 100% of the funds from this raffle will go to CarePacks.
CarePacks is a program that is a partnership between Talbot County Public Schools and the Mid-Shore Community Foundation. The goal is to provide every eligible student with a backpack filled with healthy, easily accessible meals and snacks every Friday afternoon. The need is great-over half of the students or 564 children live in households where providing for basic needs is a daily challenge. With a CarePack, when students return to school on Mondayswell-nourished and ready to learn.
The need extends across all boundaries of race and ethnicity. Some children are students with disabilities and other students are academically gifted. Some students receive Special Education services or English Language Learner services. Some students are as young as three years old. Teachers know that children who are hungry cannot learn, their ability to concentrate is impaired and their energy level is absent. Please join MSBR at this event and support this special program.
