(Newswire.net — June 17, 2015) — Baltimore, MD, USA – Comptroller Peter Franchot will recognize Harford County charity Tabitha’s House for outstanding service to the community in caring for needy families in the area, many of which are military, veterans and their families. The award ceremony will take place on Monday, June 22, 2015, at 10:30am at Tabitha’s House, 112 Connolly Road, Fallston, MD 21047, and the public is invited.
The ‘William Donald Schaefer Helping People Award’ was created in 2012 to honor the legacy of public service exemplified by former Governor, Comptroller and Baltimore City Mayor William Donald Schaefer. Nominees are sought from throughout the state and are selected based on their demonstration to improve the community; to promptly respond to a citizen problem through effective government intervention; to directly aid those most vulnerable in society; or to establish a public/private partnership to improve the lives of fellow Marylanders.
Tabitha’s House provides food, clothing, household items, cleaning supplies, school supplies and toiletries to their clients. Their level of service has been growing year by year, as the population of the area has increased, along with the increase in the number of families living below the poverty line.
Tabitha’s House is growing to meet the urgent need while other organizations in the area are being forced to reduce their programs. They plan to purchase a 14′ X 30′ storage facility, so that they may expand their inventory, allowing them to service a larger population. You can help fund this $10,000 project by clicking HERE.

Tabitha’s House provides essential items to families in need and is also a resource center for job opportunities, counseling resources, and other organizations, which provide assistance in ways that they cannot. Their goal is to provide temporary relief and to help clients focus on long term solutions to their financial problems that will eventually lead them to self-sufficiency. Tabitha’s House exists because of the combined efforts of many churches and individuals in the Harford County Community.
