Welcome to Baltimore Relief Network, where we’re committed to loving our neighbors well
At Baltimore Relief Network (BRN), our mission is clear: Meet Needs and Create Community
Then we get to watch as Lives are Transformed
Meeting Needs
We have the have the privilege of operating The Compassion Center, where eliminating food insecurity is our first priority. No one should go hungry.
Once food insecurity is addressed, other needs are met. Our Senior and Family Programs assist with resources such as cleaning supplies, toiletries, and diapers.
Affordable clothing and household goods are available through The Compassion Center’s thrift store operations.
There’s more to a person than food and clothing, though, and that’s where our Network Partners come in. We’re dedicated to developing a robust Network of partners to whom we can refer our neighbors for holistic care. We recognize that compassion is nuanced and the goal is for all individuals to be as independent and thriving as possible. Interested in becoming a Partner? Send us a message!
Creating Community
Ever volunteered with a group of folks who were complete strangers at the beginning of the day but felt like old friends by lunchtime?
How about the sense of family that occurs when you share a meal together?
Small groups anyone? Peer support groups? Parties? Celebrations? Joining in a shared goal, taking the time to listen to one another, even cleaning up the neighborhood - all ways community is created.
“Community is not just about being together; it’s about doing life together.” ~ Unknown
