The after-school program provides academic assistance, a computer lab, art, music, and dance instruction, and recreational activities five days a week.

Food Research & Action Center

Toward continued support of Maryland Hunger Solutions, an anti-hunger advocacy program designed to facilitate access to federally funded nutrition programs for low-income residents of Baltimore City. Focus will be on expanding the classroom breakfast program, advocating for improved administrative and legislative policies to eliminate barriers, and assisting to implement Maryland’s newly approved after-school, weekend, and holiday supper program for qualifying children and adults. It will also continue to serve as a resource for updates on hunger statistics.

Public Justice Center

Toward production costs of an educational film to be shown in the Baltimore Juvenile Courthouse for youth entering the foster care system. The film gives a first-hand glimpse into the process foster youth face when entering the system, and provides them with a better understanding of how the Juvenile Court works, individuals’ rights and responsibilities, and how to maximize system benefits.
