 CecilCounty Employees Donate to Help Center

            ELKTON, MD - The Board of Cecil County Commissioners are proud to acknowledge donations made by many employees of Cecil County Government to the Help Center food pantry in Elkton.  Geraldine Crockett, Volunteer Coordinator for the Help Center, picked up the donations today from the County Administration Building.  

            The Help Center has experienced a decline in food donations due to the economy and these donations will be used to fill food baskets for the holiday season.  President Lockhart stated, "The Commissioners thank all of the employees who donated to the food drive and hope that this makes the holiday season a little brighter for others in our community".

            For more information on how you can donate please contact Geraldine (Gerry) Crockett, Volunteer Coordinator for the Help Center at 410.996.0260.  The Help Center is located at 135 E. High Street in Elkton.
