According to GuideStar.org, itself a nonprofit dedicated to collecting records for all organizations registered as nonprofits with the Internal Revenue Service, there are close to 200 nonprofits registered in northern Worcester County — 81 in Ocean City and 113 in Berlin.
“The season begins in earnest on Oct. 1,” said Gee Williams, marketing director of the nonprofit Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, and mayor of Berlin. “We try to attend as many events as we can and it feels like there’s one every weekend from mid-September to early December.”
The Community Foundation uses donated funds or gifts to establish permanent endowments. As these endowments grow in value over time, the produced income funds grants to local charitable organizations. Though headquartered in Salisbury, CFES serves Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties and partners with dozens of charitable and faith-based organizations.

That's right. Is the time of the year for the zoo's Just Zoo It campaign. Hate how they use our kids as funding mules. Was only to be for one year and now they are starting their 5th year I think. Not making my kid take the stupid can around at Halloween.
Meals on Wheels is hurting. MAC would be a good place to send a donation this year. Can't stand the idea of a hungry little old Grandma all alone.
