Calvert Peace Agent Paul Murdoch represented the Calvert Peace Project at constellation energy power plant Trunk or Treat on Saturday night and attended the Southern Maryland reviving The Community Fair on Sunday at King's landing Park.

Both events were well attended with over 550 attendees the Trunk or Treat and at least 300 people attending the Reviving the Community events respectively.

Both had 30 or more private citizens and Civic, Government and Health organizations attend each event.

Here's a few captured moments

We're proud to support our partners at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maryland's Bayside Clubhouse!

The Bayside Club provides young people with a safe place to learn, grow, build leadership skills, receive academic support, stay active, and connect with caring mentors. From STEM activities and tutoring to wellness programs, arts enrichment, and career readiness opportunities, they're helping local youth build brighter futures.

If you have a child or teen who could benefit from these incredible programs, we encourage you to learn more and get involved.

One of the activities we did with youth during our Summer Experience this year was making art for people in our community.

We asked participants to create watercolor and drawing artwork for people who volunteer or who might need a little “pick me up.”

The youth chose, on their own, to create artwork for Fire & EMS, pet shelters, seniors, and Calvert County Parks and Recreation workers.

Last month, Peace Agent, Paul Murdoch, had the privilege of meeting Chief Hassler of the Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department and sharing the youth’s artwork with him and his team.

It was wonderful to see the youth’s thoughtful work make its way into the community and show appreciation for the people who serve others every day.

On the third Friday of every month Middleham & St. Peter's Episcopal Church hosts a food pantry bagging and distribution throughout the southern end of Calvert County and some nearby St Mary's communities.

This food distribution takes place year-round, regardless of the weather, and volunteers are always appreciated.

If you’d like to learn more, please reach out to us. We can provide contact information for the food bank coordinator, whether you’d like to volunteer or be added to the pantry distribution list.

Several local groups regularly volunteer, including our own Calvert County Peace Project Peace Agent, Paul Murdoch, members of the Calvert Rotary, and others.

Food distribution is organized through community centers. There is no drive-up, one-bag-at-a-time distribution. To receive a bag of food, you’ll need to be added to the list a few weeks in advance. Once you’re on the list, you’ll remain on it unless you ask to be removed, as long as there is enough donated food available each month to meet the demand.

Please consider volunteering and helping support people in our community who are in need. Every helping hand makes a difference.

One of the activities we during our Summer Experience program was art.

We asked the participants to make some watercolors and drawing art for people in our community who volunteer or who might need a "pick me up".

Of their own accord, our youth picked Fire & EMS, Pet Shelters, Seniors and our own Calvert County Parks and Recreation workers.

Our Peace Agent, Paul, had the privilege of meeting Karyn and her team of the Calvert County Parks and Recreation at the Cypress Swamp Nature Center to present them with the youth's artwork with her team!

A great day of service in the books! Today, our youth volunteers stepped up for the Calvert County Peace Project Summer of Service.The team spent the day working hard outside at the Middleham Chapel Food Pantry. They packed grocery bags, organized food donations, and helped local families load supplies into their vehicles.

Even with the summer sun, everyone stayed safe, hydrated, and focused on helping our neighbors.

By stepping up to reduce food insecurity, these youth are helping increase safety, belonging, and peace right here in our community.

Thank you to Middleham Chapel for hosting us, and to our incredible youth for putting their energy into action today. Swipe through to see our volunteers in action!

Today, our Calvert Peace Project Summer of Service youth spent the day at Annmarie Gardens learning about the plants and wildlife that are part of Southern Maryland.

With the help of a local botanist, they explored the gardens, identified native plants, and looked closely at the living things that share this space with us. They also took time to slow down, reflect, and notice how even small actions can help care for the environment.

Peace grows when we learn to care for the places we call home. Today was a reminder that protecting nature is one way we can make a difference in our community.

Today, our Calvert Peace Project Summer of Service youth explored the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay in search of fossils that are millions of years old.

As they searched, they also learned about the history of our region, the plants and wildlife that call it home, and why caring for these natural spaces matters. Every discovery was a reminder that understanding the past can help us better care for the future.

Peace begins with paying attention to the world around us. Today was a chance to slow down, explore, learn, and see our community in a new way.

Today, our Calvert Peace Project Summer of Service youth spent the day at Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Nature Center exploring one of Southern Maryland's unique natural spaces.

With guidance from a local naturalist, they walked the swamp trails, met native animals, and learned how local ecosystems work together. They also rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on service project that helped care for the environment they were exploring.

Service can happen in many ways. Today, it meant learning about the natural world, working as a team, and helping protect a place that our community shares.

Thank you to Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Nature Center for making this day possible.

Day 1 of the Calvert Peace Project’s Summer of Service is officially in the books! We kicked off the week at the Calvert Library, where our youth spent the day jumping into team-building challenges and leadership exercises.

Everyone had a great time connecting with each other and getting ready for the week of community service projects ahead.
