How To Help One Time or Recurring Donations to Support Our Ministry in Southeast Baltimore Donations to Support the Households Impacted by the 1/23 Fire on Baltimore Street There was a major fire impacting seven houses on the 3200 block of Baltimore Street, overnight from January 23rd into 24th. Two houses were completely devastated, while the other five suffered significant damage. We are in direct contact with four of the households to this point (and have reached out to the others. So far, two of the households have significant needs due to a lack of insurance coverage. The money received here will help support those two households during the in-between time before they move into new housing in a week. Once those households settle into their new housing, there may be opportunities for further support: food, clothing, furniture, and money. We will let you know! And if needs arise from the other households, we will add them into this effort as well. Donations to Support Our Efforts to Feed Neighborhood Families We are providing groceries, produce, and meals to more than 250 local families, now once every month (on the fourth Saturday). Your donations help us purchase food from the Maryland Food Bank and from local sources to prepare meals and give out as groceries. Donations to Support the Clinton Street Community Center: Refugee Resettlement We purchased two fire-damaged properties next to our church building so that we are able to better support families and expand our community work--including adding two year old classrooms for The Highlandtown Preschool, and providing housing and support for refugee families.
