We have always held a love for Frederick, Maryland, home to our East Coast headquarters. It’s a town rich with culture, creativity, and a strong community. When there’s an issue to be addressed, PM Cares is there to address it. Never is that more apparent than during the annual Day of Action, which happened on Friday, October 3rd.
The Day of Action is, in the website’s own words, “an annual volunteer event that brings the Frederick County community together to address the issues that matter the most. This event is one of the largest single-day volunteer events in Frederick County. United Way of Frederick County coordinates with local employers, individuals, and nonprofits to most effectively support the community.”
A Strong Community
Organizations all around Frederick pitch volunteer projects that are discussed and decided on based on viability, safety, and service. These projects are meant to serve ALICE (Asset Limited, Income, Constrained and Employed) households within the community. More than 350 volunteers ventured into the community to carry out these projects.
A History of Action
Phoenix Mecano has remained active in this annual event over the last few years. We have previously assisted public schools, senior living facilities, the YMCA, and the Animal Welfare League.
This year, PM Cares lent a hand in building a new trail at Gambrill State Park, helping to create a beautiful, accessible outdoor space for the community (and visitors) to enjoy. In addition, we collected and donated an array of urgently needed items for donation for Beyond Shelter.
Frederick is a wonderful home to us, and we’re happy to give back to the community!
