Help Ellicott City: its citizens, homeowners, businesses, and its brewery.

Bars, restaurants, breweries, and other businesses throughout the greater Baltimore area and Maryland are hosting special events to assist with Ellicott City's recovery after the flood on Saturday evening that devastated the Maryland town's Main Street and took the lives of two people.

The flooding was so rapid and dramatic and deadly that the National Weather Service declared it a once-in-one-thousand-year flood. Read of the danger and damage at one business, among many, the city's long-time brewery: "Ellicott Mills Brewing Owner: Flash Flood Was “Longest Hour” of His Life."
