About Children’s Aid, Inc.: Children’s Aid, Inc. is a 501(3)(c) nonprofit located in Calvert County, Maryland. Through our programs, we provide assistance to local children in need by promoting the importance of education and literacy as well as providing children with opportunities for physical activity.
Currently, we operate several programs. The Fresh Start Back to School Event (formerly Operation Backpack) provides children with a new backpack filled with new school supplies. To date, 2,250 local students have participated in the program, starting the new school year with the supplies they need.
The purpose of the Great Book Giveaway Program is twofold: to give books to children who otherwise might not have books (or many books) of their own and to educate parents on the importance of reading aloud to their young children.
The Christmas Cheer Program provides filled Christmas Stockings to youth participants of the local Shop with a Cop program. The Memorial Scholarship Program grants a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior pursuing a degree at a four-year college or university and a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior pursuing post-secondary education at a two or four-year college or university, trade, technical, or vocational school.
