Parking is available across the street at the Volleyball House.  Those
interested in
running/walking can register through  the organizing sponsor’s website, www.crosslifeevents.org.
The Elkridge Food Pantry has been in operation for twenty (20) years and was
established to help the less fortunate families in our community. They  serve families
in the Elkridge, Hanover, and Jessup area.  The Pantry is independently
operated and has no affiliation with any County, State or Federal governments.
They rely solely on the generosity from the surrounding community with not only
donations of food, but space for operations as well as cash donations that are
used to procure goods that are usually not donated. One hundred percent (100%)
of all goods, food or money donated to the Elkridge Food Pantry are utilized to
help our neighbors in these local areas. There are no administrative or any
costs associated with the operation of this pantry.
