Wicomico Shores Golf Course staff will host the Eleventh Annual Thanksgiving Day charity golf event on Thursday, November 24, 2011. 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 Our Lady of the Wayside Church food pantry.  The neighborhood pantry, located in Chaptico, helps St. Mary’s County citizens in need. The facility provides direct aid to individuals and families who face unexpected hardships and need temporary assistance with food and utility and rental/mortgage assistance.

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, soups, canned meats, pasta and noodles. Cash donations will also be accepted.

Patrons are encouraged to reserve tee times one week in advance. Tee times will be for morning hours only.  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.
