Wicomico Shores Golf Course staff will host the Eighth Annual Thanksgiving Day charity golf event on Thursday, Nov.  27.  Golf course staff plan to donate their time to open the course on Thanksgiving Day and will waive greens and cart fees for patrons who contribute various non-perishable food and household items for charity. This year’s donations will be provided to the Catholic Community Services St. Clement’s Family Center food bank.  The Family Center, located on Route 242 in Avenue, not only serves the Seventh District community, but also helps citizens in need from all over St. Mary’s County.  The Center provides direct aid to individuals and families who face unexpected hardships and need temporary assistance with food, counseling, and utility and rental/mortgage assistance.  In addition, the Family Center also houses the Salvation Army program for St. Mary’s County. Staff hopes to exceed last year’s event total of over 2,000 items collected.  Traditionally, most players donate at least one bag of non-perishable groceries including items such as canned fruits and vegetables, boxed mixes, baby items, paper products and cleaning supplies.  Cash donations will also be accepted. Patrons are encouraged to reserve tee times one week in advance.  Please call the Wicomico Shores Golf Course at (301) 884-4601 or (301) 934-8191 for further information on this event and to reserve tee times for your group.
