Thoughtful Thursday – December 5, 2024
December 5
Here’s How It Works:
Each month, the Tavern will be featuring three different charities.
Come to Manor Hill Tavern any Thursday & get a wooden token (one per person) with ANY Purchase.
On your way out, drop your wooden token in the charity box of your choice.
At the end of the month, we’ll tally up the wooden tokens given to each charity and make a donation to each cause.
Most Tokens = $150, 2nd $100, 3rd $50!
This Month’s Charities:
Michael J’s Toy Mountain & Toys for Tots

Community Action Council (Food Drive)
We resolve to meet our community’s needs quickly, strategically, thoughtfully, and always with compassion. We strive to actualize opportunities within reach of the families we serve. By layering our five critical services of early childhood education, energy assistance, food assistance, housing assistance, and weatherization assistance, we guide a family from crisis to stability and ultimately to self-sufficiency. This can help create a pathway through and out poverty or just provide a hand up when one is needed. No matter who seeks our services or why, our priority is always Howard County families’ long-term stability.
Grassroots Crisis Intervention
Grassroots provides free 24-hour crisis intervention, mental health, substance use disorder, housing support and suicide prevention services. This includes a free crisis hotline, responses to 988 calls/chats/texts (Maryland and nationally), a free 24-hour substance use disorder stabilization program, a family and individual emergency shelter and Howard County’s Mobile Crisis Response.
