Donating to HRWA

HRWA relies on the generous support of individuals, businesses, and foundations to meet our operating costs and support our ongoing programs in education, restoration and advocacy. We are also running a capital campaign to raise funds for renovating our office building, a former commercial bakery, into a "green" building. Your financial support is an investment in the health of the communities in the watershed and the improvement of the Chesapeake Bay.

Farewell to Truckie

After several years of devoted service, our beloved Truckie is retiring. With many thanks to Mel & Carol Freeman for their generous donation, we bid a fond farewell to a truly tireless workhorse, essential in our day-to-day greening efforts.

We are in desperate need of a new(er) truck, and we need your help! If you, or someone you know has a used 4x4 truck in good condition, or can suggest a dealer that might be willing to work with us on an affordable leasing option, please let us know as soon as possible.
