We believe we have a greater responsibility to society than just providing a welcoming store to visit and a good place to work.  Whether it’s giving our time, tangible goods, or money, we are proud to be involved with several charities locally, nationally, and globally.  Below are just a few of the organizations with which we are proud to work with.  If your organization would like to partner with High’s, please click here to contact us.

The Maryland Food Bank, an affiliate of Feeding America, was founded in 1979 to coordinate the procurement and distribution of food donations from manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and government agencies to organizations providing free food to the state's hungry. High's is proud to support the Maryland Food Bank through monetary gifts, food donations, and volunteer labor.

National Ovarian Cancer Coalition
The mission of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition is to raise awareness and increase education about ovarian cancer. More than 20,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year, and there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition's goals are to make more people aware of the early symptoms of ovarian cancer, to assist newly diagnosed patients, to provide hope to survivors, and to support caregivers.
