  Downloadable flyer for food donations (shown above)

  Downloadable flyer for food distribution (10 AM to 12 noon); please share with families in need

  Food drop-off at the Boys and Girls Club is from 9:00 to 10:00AM. The Boys & Girls Club will be distributing food afterward (typically from 10:00AM to noon).

  Please pick up the following items for the food drive:

  • Canned goods, pasta, spaghetti sauce, cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix, taco or burrito kits, bags of beans or rice, etc.
  • Personal care items such as diapers, sanitary pads, tampons, soap, deodorant, shampoo, etc.
  • Cakes or store-bought baked treats are greatly appreciated
  • Fresh produce (only if dropped off at BGCSM Saturday morning - other food collectors may not have fridge capacity for this)
  • Some people only have a microwave for cooking, so microwaveable donations are appreciated.
  • If you can, bring multiples of each thing. In other words, rather than bringing 10 different things, bring 10 of one thing.
  • Another useful idea is to bring things that go together for a meal, like pasta & sauce.
  • Due to insurance considerations, bulk foods can't be divided/portioned, so please stick to prepackaged if bringing rice, beans, flour, etc.

  Local Drop-off Sites

  For convenience and social distancing, CCDWC volunteers will collect & consolidate food and get it to the Boys & Girls Club.

  How You Can Help

  Volunteers are needed to staff the Calvert Democrats' information tents on Election Day, as well as all days of early voting. The tents are places where voters can gather information about Democratic candidates, ask questions, and see a friendly face on their way to the polls. No experience is necessary to help out.

  Due to COVID-19 social distancing, we will be limiting staffing at the tents to three people on each shift. Masks are required.

  For early voting, staff is needed for ONE location. For Election Day, staff is needed for all FIVE polling locations. Here are the details:

  
  

  Early Voting

  Early voting will be held from 7am to 8pm each day from Monday, October 26 through Monday, November 2, including weekend days. This is different in that the early voting this year leads right into Election Day with no gap. The location will be the same single location as in previous years:

  Community Resources Building
  Conference Room 1 - Lower Level
  30 Duke Street, Prince Frederick

  Here is the SignUpGenius link to volunteer for Early Voting:

  Per the Maryland State Board of Elections, voters can cast their vote at any vote center in their county of residence.

  There will be secured drop boxes for returning mail-in ballots, but their locations are still to be determined. The drop boxes will be available in October.
