The COVID-19 pandemic might be over, but food insecurity is not. Many residents of Anne Arundel County are struggling to put food on their table.
AAACERT supports a number of weekly and monthly food distribution events, and we are honored to have been asked to help the Salvation Army’s monthly food distribution in Glen Burnie.
Members of AAACERT were happy to help keep patrons of this food distribution safe as we managed traffic and parking for this park-and-walk-up event.
If you or someone you know is interested in joining AAACERT or interested in how to keep you and your family and neighbors safe during a disaster, please consider taking the FEMA CERT course.

One of the more active list of events AAACERT members support are the many parades in the City of Annapolis. On Sunday, March 17, 11 AAACERT members served as City Parade Marshals for the annual Annapolis St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
As City Parade Marshals, AAACERT members serve as the city’s eyes and ears, helping authorities to keep the event safe by ensuring crowds stay clear of the parade elements, and participants engage safely. Not content to be mere safety spotters, many AAACERT members also sported first aid kits, standing ready to step in with immediate assistance if needed.
Parades serve as excellent opportunities for AAACERT members to practice their crowd management, emergency communication, and incident response training. AAACERT is the only volunteer group that is certified by the City of Annapolis to work as parade marshals.

AAACERT was very proud to provide traffic and parking support to the City of Annapolis during the historic Elktonia Carr’s Beach Signing Ceremony.
The following snippet is from the Chesapeake Conservancy website at: https://www.chesapeakeconservancy.org/elktonia-beach/
Elktonia Beach, a 5-acre waterfront parcel on the Chesapeake Bay, is the last remnant of the original 180-acre property purchased by Fred Carr in 1902. Carr’s and Sparrow’s Beaches were privately-owned and operated by Fred Carr’s daughters, Elizabeth Carr Smith and Florence Carr Sparrow. The “Beaches” (1930s-1970s), as they were called, represented the heart of entertainment throughout the mid-Atlantic region and welcomed Blacks during a time of segregation.

On June 2, the Anne Arundel County Food Bank realized they needed help with an expected rush of vehicles coming to pick up diapers. Their first call, AAACERT.
Without hesitation, AAACERT president Bruce Morgenstern made a few calls and arrived on scene with two other AAACERT volunteers.
Traffic vests on and radios charged, they handled the rush with smiles abound. Bruce even got in some practice with the pallet jacks. Please follow AACFB on Facebook, subscribe to their newsletter and consider a donation. They do wonderful work year-round. The volume of food and supplies that come in and out of their warehouse is truly mind boggling.
