SPAN Seeking Volunteers in Severna Park

SPAN is hosting a 5K at Kinder Farm Park on Nov. 23.

Serving People Across Neighborhoods or SPAN is seeking volunteers.

Located behind Our Shepherd Lutheran Church at 400 Benfield Rd., SPAN helps people in their community in need of crisis assistance because of evictions, utility turn-off notices, emergency medical or prescription needs, food pantry or other services.

SPAN needs volunteers to staff the office, work in the food pantry Monday and Wednesday mornings, and donate food and other items for the pantry.

To help, you can get a group to sponsor a food drive, or simply pick up a few extra items when you shop and drop them off at SPAN Monday – Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. One-time projects such as painting, cleaning windows and moving pantry shelves are also available. 

To volunteer with SPAN, call 410-647-0889 or email SPANhelps@yahoo.com. 

Additionally, SPAN will be hosting its third annual Stride for SPAN Turkey Trot at Kinder Farm Park on Nov. 23 at 8:30 a.m. The 5K starts at 8:30 a.m., followed by a one-mile fun-walk at 9 a.m. T-Shirts will be given to all participants, and prizes will be awarded to the top three 5K finishers in specified age groups.
