Every holiday season, we participate in the Salvation Army Angel program by adopting angels and buying gifts for them. This year, in 2023, we collaborated with Pepsi to extend our support and provide gifts for an additional 100 angels, in addition to the 50 angels adopted by our stores and office staff.

Since 2010, we have been holding our Charity Golf Outing and have been able to raise over $1,075,000 for different charities such as the Hampden Family Center, the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, the Living Classrooms Foundation, and the St. Francis Neighborhood Center.  In 2023, four checks totaling $225,000 were given to the St Francis Neighborhood Center, Living Classrooms Foundation, Signal 13 Foundation, and the Cloverland Foundation.

The Hampden Elementary and Middle School was seeking funding to build an outdoor classroom for the schools children to learn and play. We were able to donate $20,000 to assist in building this classroom. It is estimated that approximately 2,000 children use the adjacent playground and school grounds each year. The new classroom and nature playground donated by Royal Farms includes permanent amphitheater seating for students, natural balance and climbing equipment, and native plants.
