COVID-19 Relief Fund for St. Mary's County
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought turmoil to the global economy. It has affected families throughout the United States, closer to home in Maryland, and in the local southern Maryland community.
All non-essential businesses are currently closed throughout the state. People who rely on hourly wages are suffering having seen their daily income all but disappear overnight. Many are currently unemployed.
The $2 trillion-dollar coronavirus relief bill will provide financial help, but payments to Americans as a part of that will not be seen for at least a few weeks or longer. Daily expenses continue in the meantime. This fundraising initiative is intended to help those most impacted by the sudden loss of income.
H.O.P.E. for St. Mary's County
We are partnering with H.O.P.E. (Helpers Overcome Problems Effectively) of St. Mary's County. H.O.P.E. is a St. Mary's County 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since 1990 H.O.P.E. has helped at least 46,000 households and 184,000 people. Over $1,000,000 in funds have been raised to assist with electricity, heating, fuel, food, medicine, and other emergency needs. Every dollar you donate counts and will directly help a St. Mary’s county family. Additional information on H.O.P.E. can be found at http://www.hopesomd.org.
Where Your Donation Goes
GoFundMe has partnered with PayPal Giving Fund to deliver donations for charity campaigns. Funds raised for this campaign will be sent directly to the H.O.P.E.’s PayPal Giving Fund account. H.O.P.E. will then distribute these contributions to St. Mary’s County Maryland residents who have lost income or jobs due to COVID-19. Your donations are tax deductible, and at the time of your donation you will receive a receipt from PayPal Giving Fund. GoFundMe charges no platform fees; however, there is a standard transaction fee per donation (2.9% +0.30).
If You Need Help
Please inquire with H.O.P.E. at [email redacted] if you are an individual or family needing assistance during this time. Additional contact information is available on the H.O.P.E. website.
Together we can overcome this. Stay strong. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Show compassion and be kind to each other.
