If you have children in Anne Arundel County Public Schools, you can donate food and money for Harvest for the Hungry between October 17 and November 4. Have your child raid your pantry or ask your friends and neighbors for non-perishables that they would be willing to donate. Check out AACPS for more information.
Remember, the best way to instill selflessness in your child is to be a model yourself. How can you lend a hand?
