Past recipients of the Exchange Club’s charitable giving have been CASA, Covenant House, Project Contact, The Sunshine Foundation, The American Legion and VFW, and the Ocean City High School Student of the Month Award. The Exchange Club of Ocean City was chartered on May 20, 1947, and is a local chapter of the National Exchange Club – the oldest service organization in the country. The Ocean City chapter’s mission is dedicated to serving children, community and country.
