Giving Tuesday in Annapolis, Maryland
When the holiday season can come off over commercialized and jaded by Black Friday horror stories, it is a nice refresher to have a widespread day to give back. At Color Fire, we hold deeply to local roots to give back to the community that we love. For this Giving Tuesday, Color Fire would like to highlight some causes that are especially dear to us. Learn more about why we support these causes and how you can help too.
Goshen Farm
The Goshen Farm Preservation Society, Inc. is dedicated to safeguarding and restoring the historic Goshen Farm in Anne Arundel County. This unique properly has an 18th-century farmhouse and related outbuildings on a mostly wooded 22-acre parcel owned by the Board of Education. It is a piece of history that we are passionate about preserving.
This year a storm struck that did devastating damage to the historic house. To help fund repairs, you can donate online or send a check to their office at 1223 River Bay Road, Annapolis, MD 21409.
Warrior Events
Coming from a military town (Go Navy), Color Fire employees have roots in nearly every branch. Even with our ties to the cause, anyone can get behind the mission of Warrior Events. They work hard to provide opportunities for interaction, enjoyment, and camaraderie for our active duty and military veterans. As a complete all volunteer organization, they are always looking for more willing people to give their time.
Also, being so close to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, the Warrior Events often assist many soldiers currently going through therapy. Find out ways you can help or check out their list of upcoming events.
77Rescue
It is a lot of fun working with Betty Lou and the 77Rescue team. Not only is it a great time, but an awesome cause. This organization is comprised of volunteer firefighters that want to raise funds for other volunteer fire companies. As they know themselves, many of these crews depend heavily on donations to fund critical rescue serves to our communities.
Through festivals, antique fire truck shows, and donations, they work toward aiding volunteer companies financially. This helps local firefighters focus less on fundraising and more on protecting their communities. This is why by donating or attending their events you can really help not only the firefighters but your community.
Maryland SPCA
Color Fire has a lot of furry friends that we call family. That is why Maryland SPCA is so important to us. Their mission is to improve the lives of pets and people in our communities. As a no-kill shelter, they also work to bring in more animals from other shelters that might be running out of time. The Maryland SPCA is dedicated to finding over 3,000 pets forever homes every year.
There are a lot of ways you can support the Maryland SPCA, from donating to adopting a furry friend or maybe dog deputy or kitty concierge is more your style. Any way you choose, it works toward helping save animals’ lives.
Though Giving Tuesday is for today only, all these causes are worth giving time and money to any day. We also work with businesses to collaborate with their customers for fundraisers to help give back to the community.
