Fall Family Outreach Day a Huge Success!

On Saturday, about 90 members of the Calvert community participated in our second annual Fall Family Outreach Day. Parents, students, faculty, and alumni worked side by side cleaning the Calvert campus and neighborhood; and helping the Baltimore community by preparing healthy and nutritious food for those in need. In addition to trash collection, weeding, and planting, community members also contributed to making 20 containers of vegetable soup, 15 broccoli casseroles, 15 spinach quiches, 15 pounds of fresh green beans, and 40 jars of LOVE ! In a mere two hours, 40 volunteers made enough food to feed 400 people. The food was delivered to Sarah's Hope (a women and children's center that houses approximately 80 residents) and Our Daily Bread. A special thank you to our event leaders, Susie Silberstein (teacher) and Elizabeth Rice (parent). We are also very grateful to our activity leaders Molly Shattuck and Larisa Kamp (Stone Soup), Lillie Stewart, Louisa Peartree, and Joel Ewen (neighbohood clean up), and Greg Hagel and Nettie Washburn (Campus Clean up).
