Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs Charlotte Hall Now Accepts Online Donations

Serving those who served by providing a continuum of care focused on individualized services to enhance the quality of life.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Giving back to veterans and their spouses who have given so much through their service has never been easier. Charlotte Hall Veterans Home now accepts monetary donations online. Charlotte Hall is a program sponsored by the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs, providing assisted living and skilled nursing, long-term care services to Maryland veterans and eligible spouses. Donations play an integral role in ensuring residents enjoy the comforts of life in or outside of the home. Medical services, final honors arrangements, and personal care items such as toiletries and clothing are some of the ways funds received support residents.

Prior to opening the online channel for donations, those wishing to support the home were required to complete a paper donation form, enclose a paper check and return it via mail or in person. The online donation page is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, accepting all major credit and debit cards, and electronic checks. Anyone wishing to make a monetary donation to Charlotte Hall Veterans Home can visit http://charhall.org

“We realize that times have changed and when people are motivated to give, they want and expect to do so immediately, using their smartphone or by visiting the organizations webpage. We couldn’t be more pleased to offer citizens, businesses, and other organizations the flexibility to express their support for our home in the way they see fit.” said Sharon Mattia, Director of Charlotte Hall Veterans Home. “Donations help us help Maryland veterans and their spouses when they need it most. With the implementation of online donations, we are hopeful to extend our reach to help even more.”

The Charlotte Hall Veterans Home donation application was developed for the state of Maryland at no cost by NIC Maryland, through the self-funded digital government services contract with the State Department of Information Technology (DoIT).

For additional questions or concerns regarding donations, please contact the Director of Volunteer Services, Ashley Radano, at (301) 884-8171, ext. 664. Thank you for continuing to support this valuable program.
