Parole Rotary of Annapolis will celebrate Earth Day, between 8:30 and 11:30am, at the Farmer’s Market on Harry Truman Pkwy in Annapolis. Volunteer organizations will be collecting items for local and international charities that Parole Rotary supports all year.

The following items are needed:
- Pet supplies – to be donated to the SPCA of Anne Arundel County
