For nearly 30 years, the Hampden Family Center has been meeting the needs of Hampden and North Baltimore families. We are taking this time to ensure our own sustainability and plan for the future so that we can continue to help our neighbors. We are operating with limited hours each week to offer mail service, food distribution, and other emergency services. Support groups will continue to meet as scheduled. We thank all of those involved with the heartfelt community efforts to sustain our valued programs.
With your support, we can return to providing robust services for Hampden.
The Hampden Family Center temporarily closed its doors earlier this year due to funding shortages. Thanks to the generosity of donors, we are now able to resume food distribution and offer limited services.
Consider the impact a food donation can make for a neighbor in need. Currently accepting items on our Amazon Wishlist, which will be shipped to the center.
