Holiday Sharing Program

The Holiday Sharing Program is a private donation program, which provides seniors and families with holiday donations through the effort of the Anne Arundel County Community. 
 

2024 Holiday Sharing Donor Link

We will match you with a family or senior in need from your area in the county. We do not share your information with the family or senior, you contact them directly. You may purchase and personally deliver your food and or gifts. If you would prefer, you may send us a tax-deductible contribution, which will be used to provide food/gifts for those families/seniors in your area.

We prioritize Thanksgiving first. If you have not heard from us by the second week in November for your Thanksgiving match please check your spam folder and if you have not received your match, please e-mail community.programs@maryland.gov or call the Holiday Sharing office at (410) 269-4462.
