Sunflowers For Sallie Continues Planting The Seeds For Families In Need

Millerville-based nonprofit Sunflowers for Sallie is gearing up for its annual Thanksgiving fundraiser on November 18.

The nonprofit’s goal this year is to create 250 “baskets of hope,” complete with all the fixings needed for a traditional Thanksgiving feast, so that 250 needy families will be nourished with great food and memories to treasure forever. To identify those families, volunteers are partnering with Ruth Parker Eason School in Millersville, Central Special School in Edgewater, Lansdowne Elementary School in Baltimore, the county’s Department of Aging, Lighthouse Church in Glen Burnie and Serenity Sistas in Annapolis.

More than 600,000 Marylanders are facing hunger. Sunflowers for Sallie’s mission and passion is to reduce these figures, to battle food insecurity in its community, and sow the seeds of kindness one at a time so that sunflowers of love may stand proud and tall and inspire others.

Sunflowers for Sallie is collecting donations via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and by check. For more information or to volunteer, visit www.sunflowersforsallie.org or email sunflowersforsallie@gmail.com.
