We are able to provide income-eligible clients and their families with food once per month with ID, but you may present DSS emergency food vouchers anytime.

The Center provides limited eviction and BGE turnoff assistance to Baltimore City residents in city zip codes 21229 and 21207. A court-ordered eviction notice or a BGE turnoff notice within these two city zip codes must be provided. We can also assist in registering clients for assistance from the Fuel Fund of Maryland benefits.
