2009 Review
Saint Mary’s Caring provides hot meals and other services for men, women, and children ranging in age from infants to octogenarians of St. Mary's County by serving breakfast (8:30-10:00a.m.) and lunch (11:30a.m. to 1:00p.m.) Monday through Saturday. Their patrons are the unemployed, the working poor, the disabled, the elderly and the mentally and physically challenged.
Good Samaritan’s partnership by hosting Saint Mary’s Caring has allowed the ministry to focus on feeding the hungry and alleviated the high rent of their previous facility. Anyone wanting more information, to volunteer, or donate can call or visit their web site. Below is a summary of the 2009 efforts from our partners in ministry.
