For information about what kinds of items are appropriate, and for drop-off sites, call the Office of Work, Life and Engagement at 443-997-7000.
Not able to donate an item? Do you have three hours that you can give to help with the revitalization of the Druid Hill Y and surrounding neighborhood? This event is taking place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, April 28 and 29. For more information, or call Work, Life and Engagement at 443-997-7000.
