We have stepped up as the first corporate pledge, donating $5,000 towards the purchase of a 2018 Ford Wheelchair Van. The Chesapeake Center is located on Dover Street in Easton, Maryland. They serve over 100 individuals with disabilities in Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne’s and Dorchester counties. Of the individuals they serve, 20% of them use a wheelchair, walker or cane and are unable to access public transportation. The Chesapeake Center provides transportation to and from the individual’s home and the Center and transports them to and from their jobs, community events and appointments such as, the doctor, pharmacy and social services. The current vans that the Chesapeake Center is using to transport individuals are unreliable, unsafe and unrepairable. We urge the community to support the Chesapeake Center’s goal of purchasing a new van to transport Center participants. Visit their website at ChesapeakeCenter.org to pledge.

Shore United Bank Proudly Supports the Avalon Foundation

January 2019

We have partnered with the Avalon Foundation as they make vast changes to preserve the historic Avalon Theatre during its construction phase to modernize and improve the functionality of the building. While on a mission to foster the sense of community that embodies the Eastern Shore, the theater plays a tremendous part in the creative and cultural experiences that attract a diverse population. Nearly half of the people that visit the Avalon Theatre travel from outside the local area, which supports the initiative of maintaining the attraction. The Avalon Theatre is a hub for community activities and offers several creative outlet opportunities, from music and theatre, to art and beyond.
