What You Can Do
There are a number of ways that churches, groups, and individuals can be part of the solution to Baltimore’s homeless problem:
As a Partner Church or Group
Provide entire Home Starter Kits on a regular basis
Collect furniture from donors and deliver it to our downtown storage facility
Join the home visitation team who sets up the new bed and unpacks the starter kits
Regularly request donations in your church bulletin or group newsletter
Financially support us as we must purchase new beds and other needed items and pay rent for our storage space
As an Individual
Donate gently used furniture or household goods (see below)
Financially support the program
How Does This Work?
For household furniture, The Resource Exchange (TRE) volunteers work with your group to accept donations of useable furniture. Because of LIMITED storage space, TRE can ONLY carry one month’s inventory (furniture for 8 – 10 apartments). We do not take beds, sofa beds, mirrors or stemware.
For home starter kits, TRE can store several home starter kits.
Contact:
The Donation Coordinator at 410-657-5874 or by email at resource-exchange@stvchurch.orgfor more information on how you can participate.
