Hello Haven Ministries Supporter!
My name is Chris Perkins. I am a new staff member with Haven Ministries. I will be leading volunteer efforts for the Haven Ministries Food Pantries at the new Queenstown Headquarters and in the Sudlersville location. I wanted to share information with you about the exciting changes to our food pantry program and give you my contact information if you are interested in volunteering at the food pantries: christine@haven-ministries.com or 443-988-1183. I am seeking volunteers from 9:00 to 12:00 and 12:00 to 4:00 most weekdays. On Tuesday, we will need an additional volunteer from 4:30 to 7:00 pm. There will also be several opportunities throughout the month to assist with organizing and moving food deliveries. Haven Ministries will be providing pop-up food pantries in Sudlersville while searching for a permanent food pantry location in that area. Volunteers will be needed for the pop-ups, too.
Please let me know if you can assist in any way! We appreciate all of your assistance!! Thank you for your support!
Here is information about the Haven Ministries' exciting future plans to establish a Haven Ministries Headquarters which will include a new location for our Resource Center AND food pantry:
As an organization, we seek to serve God's children with excellence in a loving and dignified manner. To that end, we have decided to reformat our food pantries from large, one-day monthly events to a more personal approach following a daily "store"-type of distribution model. This will allow folks to shop at a time convenient for them for what they need (each customer is welcome to attend the food pantry twice a month) without standing in long lines or wondering how they will get off work in time. This format also gives Haven Ministries' staff and volunteers more time to develop relationships and connect people to area resources including other food pantries. Our Resource Center will be moved from Centreville to the same property as the food pantry. The Headquarters with the Resource Center and Food Pantry will be open Monday, Wednesday-Friday 8:30-4:30 and Tuesday 7am-7pm. The new location is 206 Del Rhodes Avenue, Queenstown, MD 21658. The opening date at the new location is TENTATIVELY Monday, July 13, 2020.
Our new Headquarters Phone number: 410-827-7194 will be active starting July 13, 2020.
The Maryland Food Bank, as well as County agencies and leaders, including the Emergency Operations Center Food Sustainability Sub-Committee, are excited to support this new model of providing food resources to Maryland residents in need and will be promoting this model as a best practice statewide.
I look forward to working with all of you at the Haven Ministries Food Programs!
Thank you so very much.

More InformationQueen Anne’s County Community Partnerships for Children and Families, aka Local Management Board, and the Queen Anne’s County Chamber of Commerce, recognized the strong need to support the youth of Queen Anne’s County. They applied for funding from the Mid-Shore Community Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund, on behalf of the Queen Anne’s County Backpack Committee. They are pleased to announce they received an award in the amount of $10,000 to assist the county’s youth.
Additionally, the Backpack Committee received $34,250 from the Queen Anne’s County Commissioner’s fiscal year budget in FY 20 for the Backpack Committee. The Commissioner’s realized that this was not enough funding to assist the increased number of students being served. The Committee applauds the Commissioner’s for the gracious $10,000 that was also given to the Backpack Committee.
