Just in time for United Way of Calvert County’s Holiday Open House on Wednesday, December 18, volunteers from throughout the community pitched in to restore the hardwood floors and revive the conference space of the 1950’s era home at 530 Main Street in Prince Frederick.
“I feel like the holidays came a little early for us this year,” says Kelly Chambers, President & CEO of United Way of Calvert County. “We are so fortunate to receive a gift that keeps giving back to the community.” United Way has provided rental office space for several nonprofit organizations over the years, and it also opens the doors of its conference space, free of charge, to partner agencies for their board meetings, special receptions, etc.
Starting with the United Way Day of Caring on September 11, United Way Board Member Steve Sanders recruited and led a crew of volunteers from Constellation Energy, Christmas in April of Calvert County, and David Michelson of Michelson Hardwood Flooring to take out all the damaged carpeting and restore the home’s original hardwood floors to a unified sheen. Michelson Hardwood Flooring, a family-owned business serving the DC metropolitan area, was especially generous, donating all supplies and labor.
United Way supporters of all kinds – whether they give, volunteer or advocate- are welcome to experience the updated conference space firsthand at the Holiday Open House on Wednesday, December 18, from 5 to 8 pm. Enjoy holiday fare and the sounds of the season with a community of people that give back and live united. RSVP to United Way of Calvert County at (410) 286-0100 or e-mail uwadmin@unitedwaycalvert.org if you are able to attend.
