Londonderry Gives Back

Celebrating 35 Years of Londonderry on the Tred Avon

For 35 years, Londonderry on the Tred Avon has been a place where neighbors become friends, independence is celebrated, and community truly comes first. Locally owned and operated since the beginning, Londonderry is proud to celebrate this special milestone with our residents, team, and the greater community.

Nestled along the peaceful waters of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Londonderry was founded with a forward-thinking vision:
– A place where retirees could live life on their own terms
– Remain independent
– Have a meaningful voice in the community they call home

From the start, Londonderry has been more than a residence—it is a resident-owned cooperative community, shaped by shared experiences, lasting friendships, and a deep connection to the land and water that surround us.

What to Expect
in 2026:

Each month, Londonderry will highlight a local charity that holds special meaning to our residents and team
Residents, team members, families, and friends will be invited to donate items or contribute funds
For select charities, Londonderry will match monetary donations

Highlights

January

Donations collected for the Talbot Humane Society

In January, Londonderry residents and team members gave back to our friends at the Talbot Humane Society. Many of our residents and team members have pets they dearly love or fondly cherish the memories of pets who have been part of their lives. Several residents have also opened their hearts and homes by adopting senior animals from local shelters.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, all donated items were Sailor-approved!

February

Supporting the Londonderry- Satellite Rotary Club Senior Supply Drive

In February, Londonderry proudly supported our Satellite Rotary Club in its efforts to give back through the Senior Supply Drive hosted by the Talbot County Health Department.

Each year, the Londonderry Satellite Rotary Club helps support senior citizens throughout Talbot County by collecting essential supplies and items that many individuals may struggle to afford. Thanks to the generosity of our residents, we made meaningful contributions to help local seniors maintain their health, dignity, and independence.

“The Londonderry residents are always so generous. It is so appreciated by everyone.”
— Carrie Ottey, Community Health Nurse Program Supervisor, Talbot County Health Department

We are grateful to our residents and team members who continue to embody the spirit of giving that defines Londonderry.

March

Supporting the Neighborhood Service Center (NSC) Food Pantry

As part of celebrating Londonderry’s 35th anniversary, our residents and team members wanted to give back to the community that has supported us for decades 💙

Throughout the year, we are highlighting local charities that hold special meaning for our residents, their families, and our team.

In March, we were proud to support the Neighborhood Service Center Food Pantry. Together, we collected a tremendous number of needed items—so many that it took multiple trips to deliver them all! In addition, we raised over $200 in monetary donations to help support their mission.

We are so thankful to our residents, families, and team members for their generosity and continued commitment to giving back. Your kindness is what makes our community so special.

April

Resident Impact: April Giving Back Success

St. Vincent de Paul, Easton, MD

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Londonderry residents, our April Giving Back initiative in support of St. Vincent de Paul – Easton was a tremendous success.

Residents donated over three carloads of items, including clothing, housewares, home décor, and non-perishable food. These contributions will go directly toward supporting local individuals and families in need throughout Talbot County.

We’re also excited to continue our partnership by hosting a St. Vincent de Paul pop-up shop in early May, further supporting their mission.

Once again, our residents have shown what makes this community so special: their generosity, compassion, and commitment to helping others continue to make a meaningful difference.

May

Supporting Our Military Families

As part of Londonderry on the Tred Avon’s 35th Anniversary celebration, residents and team members are proud to continue the long-standing tradition of giving back to the community.

In May, Londonderry’s Giving Back Spotlight supported For All Seasons and their Military Family Mental Health Access Campaign. Through the generosity of Londonderry residents, more than $700 was donated, with Londonderry matching every dollar raised.

This cause is especially meaningful on the Eastern Shore, where 1 in 4 residents is connected to the military as a service member, veteran, or immediate family member. Donations help provide same-day counseling services, 24/7 crisis support, and culturally informed mental health care for veterans and their families.

Together, Londonderry residents are making a meaningful impact while celebrating 35 years of community, compassion, and service.

June

Supporting Imagination Library of Talbot County

As part of Londonderry’s 35th Anniversary Celebration, we are proud to spotlight Imagination Library of Talbot County as our June Giving Back recipient.

Founded in 2013 by local educator Cristy Morrell, Imagination Library of Talbot County is part of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program dedicated to fostering a love of reading and improving early childhood literacy. Through the program, children from birth to age five receive a free, high-quality book delivered directly to their mailbox each month, regardless of their family’s income.

Research shows that the first five years of life are critical for language development and literacy skills. Reading to young children helps build vocabulary, stimulates brain development, encourages creativity, and lays the foundation for future academic success. By providing books directly to families, Imagination Library of Talbot County helps ensure children have the resources they need to begin their educational journey with confidence.

Today, approximately 1,200 children in Talbot County receive a free book each month through the program. This remarkable reach is made possible through partnerships with local healthcare providers, childcare centers, social service agencies, libraries, and dedicated community volunteers.

One of the most inspiring aspects of the program is its impact. For just over $25, a child can receive a full year of books delivered to their home—an investment that can help foster a lifelong love of learning and literacy.

Throughout June, Londonderry residents and team members will be supporting Imagination Library of Talbot County as part of our year-long Giving Back Spotlight initiative. Together, we are celebrating 35 years of community, compassion, and service by investing in the youngest members of our community and helping build a brighter future—one book at a time.
