After nearly 30 years of meeting the needs of Hampden and North Baltimore families, the Hampden Family Center is pausing operations. Amid a challenged economy and fundraising environment, and recent departure of leadership, the temporary closure will allow time to devise a sustainable, actionable plan that returns the Hampden Family Center to its mission: enriching residents through education and professional support and encouraging growth and community fellowship. While we take time to search for a new executive director, we thank all of those involved with the heartfelt community efforts to sustain our valued programs.

Thank you for your support! Hats Off to Hampden was a huge success!
