PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. - MAEVE Northern Calvert, a non-profit service organization supporting those who mother, recently donated hundreds of dollars in personal care items to Project ECHO to help local families who are experiencing homelessness. The donated items were presented to Project ECHO board member Julie Fuller by MAEVE President Sandra Golden on Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021 at Project ECHOs headquarters in Prince Frederick.

Project ECHO provides emergency shelter and supportive housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Calvert County. Its shelter, ECHO House, has 38 beds divided among family suites and dorm-style bedrooms. It relies on community support to provide food, clothing, toiletries for residents.

"Project ECHO, Inc. is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide hope for the homeless. Our purpose is to provide emergency shelter and transitional housing to displaced men, women, and children allowing them respite and the opportunity to stabilize their condition to enable a fresh start, said Fuller. Thanks to community support, Project ECHO is able to provide food, clothing, and toiletries for every resident and in many cases, for our former residents as well.

MAEVE Northern Calvert collected the personal care items, which included feminine products, baby wipes, diapers, deodorant, razors and other products, during a month-long supply drive in September. It was the inaugural service project for the chapter, which was formed in August 2021. The chapter is the local branch of MAEVE (Motherhood Alliance Equity Village Empowerment) organization, a national nonprofit that seeks to empower all who mother in support of one another and their communities.

This is the perfect first service project for our organization, said Sandra Golden, president of MAEVE Northern Calvert. Im proud of our members who donated items and their time to the supply drive. MAEVE Northern Calvert supports all who mother, and by giving back, we can help build up our community.
