Worcester County
G.O.L.D.
Many Worcester County
families, living below poverty line, have little
extra income to provide the holiday treats for
their children that many of us take for
granted. In an effort to help needy
children in our local communities, Worcester
County G.O.L.D. annually plans the G.O.L.D.
Spring Basket Project for Worcester County
children in need.
Community sponsors are
being sought to prepare baskets for children in
specific families referred to the G.O.L.D.'s
Spring Basket Project by Social Workers and Case
Managers at the Department of Social Services
(DSS) and Health Department in Worcester County.
Baskets that you tag with the
child's name and age are delivered to Worcester
County G.O.L.D. at the DSS in Snow Hill and
distributed to families by Social Workers and
Case Managers. In 2007, 241 baskets were delivered to local children in
Pocomoke, Snow Hill, Girdletree, Newark, Berlin,
Ocean Pines, Bishopville and Ocean City.
