From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

Big Shout to Some of My Supporter During Covid-19 Crisis

This morning, I just have to shout out to a few people who have been standing with me during this Convi-19 crisis. They have stepped up their support with food, water, visits, transportation, medical services, and help for our seniors.

Chief Anthony Morgan and the Mount Rainier Police Department

Caroly Samuel King

William "Lee" Miles

Patricia Page

Wanda Wheatley

Diane Dunsmore

Ernest Wheeler

Robin Bliss

Jack Priestley and the CERT Team

Dr. George Askew

Ms. Gloria Brown

These are the times when THANK YOU just does not seem adequate, but it is all I can offer. Each of you ROCK in my book, and I know those that you helped and are helping are forever grateful!

The CERT Team is still accepting food.

Lisa Lincoln and her team at CAFE are setting up a food pantry in the Queen Manor Apartments area. Here is what Lisa had to say:

CAFE is working to set up a food pantry for those in need. We had hoped to have it outside so people could visit it 24/7, but understand insurance concerns. So, we will be at the door pantry (not letting anyone in, but they can see inside and make requests) located at CAFE in Queens Manor. We see this as a partnership: people in need from this community could come to CAFE between 5 and 6:30pm on Mondays and Fridays. IF we ever have unserved meals, we can donate to CERT. IF CERT has extra donations, we can add them to our pantry.

I will be posting more information as it becomes available. THANK YOU, Lisa and the team.

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
