G.O.L.D.
Worcester Country children are asked
to begin the school year with school supplies specific
to their school and their grade level. in 2006, local sponsors, volunteering through
Worcester County G.O.L.D., supplied 465 needy
children with backpacks filled with the required
supplies. Many extra treats were
included such as school shoes, clothing and
snacks.
Some of the supplies include:
 | Pencils |
| Pens |
| Crayons/Colored Pencils |
| Composition books |
| Tape |
| Scissors |
| Paper |
| Markers |
| Glue |
| Folders |
| Notebooks |
| Backpacks |
| Tissues |
| Baggies |
| Hand Sanitizer |
| Crib Sheets |
| Art Cover-ups |
| Calculators |

The social workers and
case managers at Worcester County Department of
Social Services (DSS), health department workers
and school counselors refer appropriate families through
the month of July, and by August, we begin
identifying families in dire need. We also
collect a variety of extra supplies for distribution
through the Department of Social Services in
Snow Hill.
Interested individuals,
such as local businesses, civic organizations,
church groups and clubs are matched with needy families. The donors purchase and deliver
school supplies to a child or a family of
children in Worcester County who otherwise would
not be able to afford adequate supplies.
