Thinking of Maryland VOAD During the Holidays


It’s that time of year when thoughts go to those who are in need. Maryland VOAD focuses on those families who have unmet needs following a disaster. 


Tell your relatives, friends, and neighbors that there is no greater gift than that which lifts up others from the sense of helplessness after they have lost so much.  Consider donating to Maryland VOAD’s general disaster fund.
