Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question: What are you doing for others?”

From writing Valentine’s Day cards to assembling bags of non-perishables, we are running a variety of events across Baltimore suitable for the whole family to enjoy! By generously donating your time you will make a huge and immediate difference to the lives of those in the community who need it most.
