At Peraton, we believe in supporting causes that align with our core values, and aligning with mission partners for events, like a holiday food drive, provide an exceptional opportunity to raise awareness of those causes. We believe in the power of giving back and are committed to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. As such, Peraton is proud to partner with the 2024 Go Bowling Military Bowl to make an impact in the Annapolis community to host a food drive benefiting the Marshall Hope Corporation, a local food pantry.
“Our corporate citizenship initiatives are driven by our employees and serve as a tangible reflection of the values we hold dear,” said Melody Pleasure, senior director, Corporate Communications & Marketing, Peraton. “The food drive is our way of feeding back into the surrounding community and uniting our mission partners around a cause that truly makes a difference.”
Donations will be accepted between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28 at the Peraton tent located inside the blue lot of the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
The food pantry needs nonperishable goods and baby supplies listed below:
- Cereal, peanut butter, jelly
- Individual oatmeal, granola bars
- Canned fruit, veggies, pasta, spaghetti sauce
- Individual chips, rice, dried beans
- Diapers (sizes 4-7) and/or baby wipes

ABOUT THE MARSHALL HOPE CORPORATION
Founded in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Marshall Hope Corporation was born out of a shared desire to support underserved Hispanic families in Annapolis who were facing job loss and lacked access to government assistance. What began as a small effort to help one family has grown into a vital community resource, delivering food and essential supplies to over 350 households each week. With the help of local businesses, volunteers, and generous donations, the pantry serves hundreds of families by providing fresh groceries, including fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat. Their mission remains focused on spreading hope in the Annapolis community by providing essential resources and services to vulnerable and underserved families.
