Employees from the Avon-Dixon Insurance Agency, Freestate & Son Insurance, and Elliott Wilson Trucking Insurance, all members of the Shore Bancshares community of companies, recently donated $3,175 to St. Martin’s House in Ridgely, MD.
For the past several years, employees from each of these companies have made a charitable contribution to a local non-profit organization with funds raised throughout the year for their “Casual Day Fund.” To accumulate this fund, each Friday, employees have the opportunity to contribute $1 and in return they are allowed to come to work in casual attire.
At the end of 2014, Avon-Dixon, Freestate & Son, and Elliott Wilson Insurance matched the amount collected from employees thereby doubling the donation to St. Martin’s House, a non-profit shelter for homeless women with children.
St. Martin’s House provides a wide range of resources to support these women and children and help them gain education, self-knowledge and life skills.
