Hello, Harford County! The holiday season is upon us, and we’re already deep in the hustle and bustle. There’s so much going on between now and the new year. Be sure to keep a thought for those less fortunate, take good care of each other, and make some time to relax and have fun. Have a wonderful month!

Happy October, Harford County! There’s plenty to do this month, with charity fundraisers, trunk or treats, fall festivals, and more. With cold weather and the holidays just around the corner, many organizations are starting to collect items for people in need. If you’re looking for volunteer opportunities, places to donate, or places to get help, visit the Resource Directory to find what you need.

If your nonprofit is sponsoring families or collecting donations, let us know so we can get the word out. As always, if you would like to be a featured nonprofit, or if you have news to share, or jobs or events to promote, please contact us here.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please support this month’s Featured Nonprofit, SARC, in their efforts to help victims, build awareness, and eventually eradicate domestic violence.

Have a great month!

Happy Fall, Harford County! There’s a lot to do with plenty of fundraisers, fall festivals, and other events going on.

September is both National Recovery Month and Suicide Prevention Month. There are many local resources available. If you or someone you know is suffering, please reach out to one of the many recovery centers and mental health facilities in our area. Ashley Addiction Center, Voices of Hope, the Char Hope Foundation, and the Klein Family Center are just a few of them. Please visit an emergency room or call 911 in an emergency. You can also call 988 24/7 if you are in crisis.

If you haven’t done so yet, head over to the redesigned Harford Helps website to browse our database of nonprofit organizations, find places to volunteer and donate, find resources, or register your nonprofit. As always, if you would like to be a featured nonprofit, or if you have news to share, jobs or events to promote, or questions or comments, please contact us here.

Finally, as our kids head back to school, our hearts are with Joppatowne High School and the whole J-towne community. We love our Mariners! Be kind to each other out there, Harford County!

Hello, Harford County! We hope you’re enjoying the summer!
