When Community cares

How Neighbors Are Building Strong Foundations Together

Across Maryland, something powerful happens when neighbors care for neighbors. From the Baltimore area to Anne Arundel County and out to Allegany and Garrett counties, communities are coming together to ensure no family faces crisis alone. When neighbors like you believe in our mission — as donors, volunteers, or people who care enough to learn more — moms like Gina find emergency housing, women like Alice recover from addiction, and families like the Proffitts get their children the behavioral support they need to succeed in school. This is what happens when community cares.

"At Villa Maria it wasn’t just, ‘we’re going to fix your kid.’ It’s, ‘we’re going to prepare him to handle these things on his own. We’re going to prepare you to help him handle these things.’ And that’s what they did.”

— Crystal Proffitt

"I pretty much totally surrendered and said: I’m just going to do what this program asks of me. And since I’ve done that, everything has fallen in place. I’m still getting things back that I lost in addiction.”

— John Lauer
