Angel's Watch Shelter

In caring for those of us who are poor, In sheltering those of us who are homeless, and In protecting those of us who are vulnerable and oppressed, Catholic Charities helps people in need strengthen and rebuild their lives. Our shelter houses 42 homeless women and children from Charles, Calvert, and Saint Mary's counties. The families and single women can stay for up to two years receiving services which may include case management, mental health support, substance abuse counseling, domestic violence support, food, clothing, and tutoring.

Every Homeless Child Needs
Something to HUG!

Pajama Connection - Let's join together to give each homeless child at the Angel Watch Shelter a "special gift" by filling beach bags with:

  • New Pajamas (ages 2 to 13 years)
  • Children's Books (new or barely used)
  • Toothbrushes
  • Toothpaste
  • Combs
  • Flip Flops
  • Socks
  • Also, cash donations will be used to purchase above items.

Annmarie Garden

Annmarie Garden is committed to connecting people to art and nature. Through a wide variety of engaging exhibits, programs, classes, workshops, public projects, and annual events, Annmarie Garden opens up opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and reflection. By providing opportunities for visitors to experience and engage in imaginative activities, the Garden seeks to nurture the human spirit and contribute to a healthy society.

Arftfest - Recognized as one of the top outdoor arts festivals in the Mid-Atlantic region, Artsfest brings together some of the country's most accomplished artists for a weekend of art, music, food, and fine brews at the beautiful Garden. Artsfest is a two day event in mid-September that needs volunteers both days. Volunteers will have an opportunity to help with set-up and take down, art activities, help artists and work with admissions.

Opportunities:

  • Art School Attendant - An Art School Attendant would greet visitors as they come into the art school and over see art activities provided for Garden visitors. They are also welcome to bring their own art and use the time to practice and promote their own work.
  • Art School Camp Councilor - The Art School Camp Councilors would help the art teachers with their summer camp programs.
  • Welcome/ Information Desk Host - As the first person the public meets, a welcome desk host is one of the most important. They are to orient visitors to the building and garden grounds, take admissions during exhibits, promote and sell memberships and answer general questions about Annmarie Garden.
  • Gift Shop Volunteer - Gift shop volunteers would help the gift shop manager with different tasks
