Baltimore City is partnering with Maryland Philanthropy Network (MPN), a Maryland 501c3, to support the regional response to the COVID-19 emergency by receiving and organizing donations of essential protective items. Your call will receive a response to schedule drop off or collection of your donated items. At your request, a receipt of your donation can be provided at time of drop off OR emailed to the address you provide.
MPN is collaborating with private partners in this service: Midtown Benefits District, Seawall Development, MPN’s neighbors at The Union Collective, the board and membership of MPN and the many business and civic associations that are issuing this call to their memberships.
To give to an emergency fund in your county, please seek out your local community foundation – many have emergency relief funds in place. In Baltimore please visit the Baltimore Community Foundation website and support the Baltimore Evolving Community Needs Fund. View a full list of funds in communities throughout Maryland on the MPN resource page--click the Response Funds tab.
