Announcing the 2008 SPAN Golf Classic

 

For centuries mankind has looked for a way to feed the hungry, assist those in crisis, and support the community….. while golfing. This is a fine opportunity to support the Severna Park Assistance Network, have some fun and play a little golf.

 

While the utility rate increase affects all of us, the hardship is greatest among the working poor.  Historically 70% of our financial assistance goes to help families with utility bills that they can’t pay. 

 

We need your support and your enthusiasm.  Click here for Sponsorship forms and Registration forms . They are also available at local businesses, churches, SPAN.  Please call Jenny Wellschlager or Kathy Laukhart at 410-647-0889 for more information.

 

We'd like to thank our Sponsors whose contributions make this event possible. (Click here to see list of Sponsors.)

SPAN is "Ex-SPAN-ding"!

After 17 years in our current location, SPAN is in need of more space. SPAN is undergoing a facility improvement project to enclose the side porch and expand the greatly needed pantry and storage space. This will enable SPAN to serve more people and take on additional special projects while performing our work in a more efficient manner. In order to complete this project, SPAN is looking for assistance from you! You may help by:

• Providing financial assistance
• Donating building supplies
• If you are a licensed (or unlicensed) contractor, donate your time in completing the construction.

Our goal is to begin the construction process before the end of the summer.

 

Drastic Increase in Assistance Given

SPAN's level of assistance to local families in need has increased dramatically in recent months. Whether this is due to the rising cost of food, BGE rate increases, the trend in the real estate market, or other market conditions, we cannot say. As a result, we have been forced to decrease our per family level of assistance in order to maintain a balance available for future assistance. We are now turning to the community for help. Please remember us for financial donations from your family, workplace, sports team, or other organization. You can now designate SPAN as your charity of choice for the United Way Campaign by writing in SPAN’s name, address and phone number as your designation. SPAN’s address is 400 Benfield Rd. Severna Park, MD 21146, phone 410-647-0889. SPAN relies on community support to assist those amongst us who are most in need; please spread the word!
