Thank you, Charles County residents and business owners! Thank you, Southern Marylanders from Calvert and St. Mary’s County.

LPPD would especially like to thank La Plata Volunteer Fire Department, Inc., Charles County Volunteer Rescue Squad, EMS 51, Waldorf Chevrolet Cadillac, Explorer Post 1888 La Plata, MD, Walmart La Plata (Walmart), and EC Sports DMV. Also, a special thank you to Mrs. Tonya Bagley, LPPD’s photographer.
To our generous community. LPPD wanted to pass along the toys you generously donated to the tornado victims in Kentucky arrived this evening. The toys were delivered to the Abundant Life Worship Center in Calvert City, a distribution center for tornado victims. Parishioners accepted the donations and will be working through the evening to sort the toys by age group.
