‘Mitzvah Team’ launches campaign to support Ocean Pines first responders

Tuesday, November 26, 2024

(Nov. 26, 2024) A group of Ocean Pines residents, known for their charitable efforts, is leading a new campaign to support local first responders.

The Teal Bay Mitzvah Team, a volunteer group of neighbors in the Teal Bay section of Ocean Pines, is asking for donations of supplies to benefit the Ocean Pines Fire/EMS and Police departments. The group is named after the Jewish word for good deeds.

Mitzvah Team member Margit Novack said the group recently met with leaders of both departments to identify specific needs. The new campaign launched on local Facebook groups, including “Ocean Pines Get Involved” and “Ocean Pines News and Info.”

“Either you’ve been helped personally by Ocean Pines Police or Fire/EMS, or you know people who have been,” Novack said. “This is a way to show your support and give back.”

Requested items include:

Keurig K-Cups (caffeinated and non-caffeinated)
Boxes of sugar, stevia, and raw sugar
Gatorade (diet and regular)
Bottled water
Individual snack bags (requested only for police personnel)

Novack emphasized the importance of supporting first responders who dedicate their time to keeping the community safe.

“The police and fire/EMS teams are always there when we need them. This is a small way to say thank you and help make their workday a little easier,” she said.

Donations can be dropped off or shipped directly to Novack at 2 Riverside Court in Teal Bay, Ocean Pines. The collection drive runs through Christmas Day.
