Sandy Spring Bank is committed to serving our communities through volunteerism all year, but we make it even more of a priority during our annual Season of Sharing that runs from October to January. We kick-started our campaign this year by partnering with the Capital Area Food Bank, Maryland Food Bank and CVS Health on a food drive that collected 1,500 pounds of food for area families. Other examples of our volunteer activities this year include:

• Hosting a toy collection and silent auction for Toys for Tots to benefit disadvantaged children.
• Collecting new or unused pajamas and books for children in foster care through the DC Metropolitan Foster & Adoptive Parent Association.
• Collecting monetary donations and non-perishable food items for the Howard County Food Bank.
• Promoting literacy among young readers through an inspiring note-writing event with Everybody Wins DC.
• Raising funds for Adoptions Together, A Wider Circle, Western Fairfax Christian Ministries and Anne Arundel County Literacy Council.
