Volunteer Sites

The PDOS event has featured over 40 volunteer sites. These sites are often 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations or other charitable community groups. Below are the three main categories of the types of service projects we plan to work on for this year.

Working with People:
Do you like to make other people smile? Need to have one-on-one time to feel like you’re making difference? We offer projects that pair you with kids, the elderly, and other Baltimore residents. Here, you’ll get the chance to work directly with the people you’re helping while doing fun activities from bingo to reading with kids.

Previous Sites: Tutorial Project, Jubilee Arts Center, GEDCO, Gallagher Services, Jenkin's Senior Living Community, and Sarah's House

Beautification Projects:
Do you like to get your hands dirty? We offer projects helping to construct and beautify the Baltimore area by working with area residents to spruce up neighborhoods and maintain state and local greenspaces.

Previous Sites: Friends of Patternson Park, Patapsco State Park, The Men and Family Center, The Loading Dock, Maryland SPCA, and Cylburm Arboretum

Hunger and Food Justice:
What better way to get to make a difference than to provide a meal to someone who is hungry? We work with food in all of its stages: from planting it, to picking it, to preparing it and serving it. We offer projects at various community gardens, local farms and soup kitchens.

Previous Sites: Ash Street Garden, Carmine Ave. Community Garden, Our Daily Bread, The Franciscan Center, and First Fruits Farm
