Brunswick Gives Back on June 13, 2009: Help for Those in Need

The following information was passed along to me by a City Council member:
 
Everyone knows at least one family or friend who has been hurt by losing a job, facing foreclosure or another financial difficulty right now.
 
An event has been organized to help those in need: Brunswick Give Back. The emphasis is "A Hand Up, Not a Hand Out".  There is NO CHARGE for anything at this event.
 
The event will be held at the City Park Building on Saturday, June 13th from 10am-1pm. 
 
Services provided are listed below but more are still being added:
 
  • 6,000 lbs of free food
  • Info on low/no cost health insurance
  • Free clothing swap / giveaway
  • CASS Open House
  • Foreclosure assistance
  • Free carbon monoxide detectors
  • Free toothbrushes
  • Free blood pressure screening
  • Need a job?  Talk with Workforce Services to learn about what jobs are out there and what free training you may qualify for
  • WIC and Food Stamp Assistance
  • Talk to Salvation Army
  • Q&A about cancers and mental health referrals/issues
  • Prescription discount cards
 
These are services Frederick County provides in their offices during the business day, but they are coming to us this weekend to be more accessible to those who cannot come in for help on weekdays. 
 
Once the food is gone, it is gone, but they can learn about other food options in our area as well.  6,000 lbs is meant to feed 200 families.
 
Also, if you'd like to help that day or donate clothing, please contact 301-712-4137 or 301-834-9718 to contribute.
