The Season of Caring
Governor O’Malley believes in the dignity and spirit of every individual, and that every individual in fact matters. We know that there are Marylanders that embody these beliefs, and take actions in their own life, to ensure that every Marylander is treated with respect and dignity.
We're trying to make it easier for folks to get involved, so please consider the following three options this holiday season:
