United Way of Calvert County’s box-framed mid-20th century house got a fresh new look in 2013, with the help of partner agency, Christmas in April of Calvert County. Located in the heart of Prince Frederick at 530 Main Street, the United Way of Calvert County (UWCC) lends its conference space and kitchen out to partner agencies, like Christmas in April, for community events and board meetings at no cost. UWCC also has provided an inexpensive rental space for local agencies, like current occupant Calvert Collaborative for Children and Youth.
After noticing the “rustic” quality of the flooring in the kitchen and entranceway, Christmas in April generously offered to replace the well-worn 25 year old vinyl with new tile laminate, with all supplies and labor donated from W.H. Lloyd Construction, LLC, Caves to Castle Remodeling and Christmas in April.
“I have been dreaming of this for nearly twelve years and thanks to Steve Sanders (of Christmas in April) and the crew it finally became a reality,” says Sherri Gedridge, Director of Operations for United Way of Calvert County. “All the volunteers were so generous with their time and talent.”
We’ve been blessed this year with the expansion of our parking lot, made possible by a bond bill, a paved patio donated by Kelly McConkey’s Tree and Landscaping, and now a new look to our kitchen – all of which make the United Way home a more inviting space for our community,” says President & CEO Kelly Chambers.
