Donate

Fish of Laurel operates entirely on private and public donations of food, financial, and volunteer assistance. Monetary donations help us purchase food and pantry supplies. Food and non-perishable donations bolster our food pantry and supplement our daily meal services. Volunteers help us put our mission into action. Whether you are able to contribute food, funds, or your own time, your donations help maintain the critical services we’ve been providing to the community for over 40 years. Thank you!

Help Feed a Neighbor in Need

The demand for food assistance continues to rise, especially in Prince George’s County, where 50% of households needed support in 2024*. At Elizabeth House, our volunteers serve about 130 meals a day to neighbors facing hunger. As an all-volunteer organization, every dollar is spent on our mission. Please consider making a monthly or one-time financial donation to help us reach our goal of $50,000. Every $20 feeds 10 neighbors!


*According to the Capital Area Food Bank's 2024 Hunger Report
