How to Help Out the Flood Victims in Old Ellicott City, Maryland
Longtime readers of my articles probably noticed I write a lot about Old Ellicott City, located in Howard County, Maryland. This past weekend the cozy little town was destroyed by flash floods.
As you can see, the city sustained devastating loss and damage. The town just rebuilt after a flood from two years ago, so needless to say people are upset. As I said earlier, I covered many things in this town, like May the 4th and Nerd Food. Old Ellicott City packs a lot of punch in just a few miles, and this flood will have lasting impacts on the home owners and small businesses. A number of places have started donation campaigns to help:
Tersiguel's French Country Restaurant
Ellicott Mills Brewing Company
For anyone local to the area:
The Clayground in Old Ellicott City is re-open for business. If you sign up for any of their art classes, 50% of each receipt will go to help OEC rebuild.
In support of the Ellicott City residence in need due to the today's devastating flood, the Howard County Food Bank is partnering with the One EC and accepting donations of Water, Cleaning Supplies, and Flashlights beginning Monday 5/28 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
