Volunteers Needed: Community Table Invites Groups to Join Weekend Meal Effort

The Community Table is calling on local organizations, churches, businesses, clubs, families, and community groups to volunteer their time and talents to help provide weekend meals for neighbors in need.

Operated through Frederick’s Department of Housing and Human Services (100 S Market Street), The Community Table is a downtown Frederick soup kitchen program that serves warm meals to community members every weekend. The program relies heavily on volunteers to help create a welcoming environment while ensuring guests have access to nutritious meals.

Volunteer groups are responsible for planning, preparing, and serving a meal during a scheduled weekend shift. Opportunities are available throughout the year, and both new and returning groups are encouraged to participate.

City of Frederick Expands On-Street Parking Time Limits in Select Downtown Areas

The City of Frederick is making adjustments to select paid on-street parking areas in response to community feedback received following the transition to fully digital parking operations. 

Effective immediately, several downtown parking zones that previously had a two-hour maximum stay have been expanded to allow up to four hours of parking. Under the updated system, visitors may renew their parking session for an additional two hours through ParkMobile, providing greater flexibility for those shopping, dining, or spending time downtown. 

The following locations will now have a four-hour maximum parking limit: 

  • Market Street from All Saints Street to 6th Street 
  • Patrick Street from Carroll Street to College Avenue 
  • First block of East Church Street 
  • First block of West Church Street 
  • North Market Street Lot

 

The City’s Parking Department will continue to monitor all ParkMobile zones to ensure parking availability, efficiency, and the best possible experience for residents and visitors.

Mayor Michael O’Connor today announced the launch of the City of Frederick’s annual Mayor’s Give a Day in May, a month-long community volunteer initiative encouraging residents to give back through service projects across the city. 

Throughout May, individuals, businesses, civic groups, and neighborhood organizations are invited to participate in volunteer opportunities that support local nonprofits, beautify public spaces, and assist community members in need. Organized projects are available for both individuals and groups looking to make a meaningful impact. 

This year’s service projects are made possible through partnerships with organizations serving the Frederick community, including the YMCA of Frederick County, Helping Hands and Caring Hearts, Maryland Ensemble Theatre, Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County, Platoon 22, and others. 

Mayor’s Give a Day in May is also being recognized as part of Frederick’s USA 250 initiative, the local commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States. Through programs centered on civic participation, community engagement, and local history, USA 250 invites residents to honor the milestone by contributing to the community around them. 

“Mayor’s Give a Day in May is a reminder that even small acts of service can have a meaningful impact when a community comes together,” said Mayor Michael O’Connor. “Each volunteer project completed this month helps strengthen the connections that make Frederick a caring and engaged place to live.” 

Volunteer opportunities range from planting flowers and supporting food access efforts to assisting youth-serving organizations and helping with neighborhood-based projects. Residents may sign up as individuals or as part of a team.
