Last week, CHARM CITY RUN donated nearly 600 hooded sweatshirts and half-zip pullovers to our Marketplace where guests shop for free! For years, they’ve been a great friend to Paul’s Place with large donations of clothing items, as well as occasional pop-up shoe stores here to fit our guests for free pairs of athletic sneakers and socks to keep them comfy, warm, and stylish. Thank you, Charm City Run! #charmcityrun If your business or organization would like to make an in-kind donation of needed items or arrange a day of service, contact Chevonne Francois at [email protected].

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s Rho Xi Omega Chapter performed a day of service for MLK Jr. Day making 100 bag lunches for Paul’s Place! “We would like to share in the great works of Paul’s Place as an opportunity for members of the organization to serve,” said Lisa White. “I learned of the great work of Paul’s Place through my employment with Morgan Stanley. I could not wait to share with my Sorority’s Uplift the Community Initiative all the positive things that happen in your building as you put people’s lives back together.” A big Paul’s Place THANK YOU to the Chapter for helping to reduce food-insecurity in Southwest Baltimore! #rhoxiomega_AKA We love working with community groups!

This winter, hundreds will seek help at Paul’s Place and will, along with all of us who provide support here each day, give thanks for what YOU have made possible throughout the year! If you haven’t yet made a gift to enable us to serve the GREAT NUMBER OF NEIGHBORS IN NEED, please do so today at https://lnkd.in/eUFKjpTd. The more we share the spirit of the season, the brighter the coming year will be for everyone! (Plus, your contribution is fully tax deductible and today’s the last day to get it in for 2024.)

Share the spirit, brighten the season! For 42 years, the MIDDAY MEAL has been at the heart of Paul’s Place’s effort to improve the quality of life in Southwest Baltimore. As 2024 comes to a close, consider how A GIFT FROM YOU CAN MAKE THAT MEAL A REALITY. At $3/meal, a gift of $30 can provide 10 midday meals, a gift of $150 can provide 50 midday meals, and a gift of $500 can provide the number of meals we serve to guests EACH DAY! Please join our efforts to serve hot, nutritious meals by making a gift at https://lnkd.in/ea6T4X76.

Help us celebrate DINNER IN SPIRIT 2024! Since its founding, Paul’s Place’s mission has been to IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE for our neighbors. To help us do that, Dinner in Spirit was created as an annual effort that gives YOU the chance to make it possible for us to provide support when it is needed the most. THE NEED FOR OUR SERVICES REMAINS STAGGERING, and a gift today will enable us help so many! Please spread the spirit of the season into the new year by visiting https://lnkd.in/egMZjz72 to make your gift. What is Dinner in Spirit, anyway? It is our annual virtual event that encourages us to set an extra place at the dinner table to remember those in need and to donate to Paul’s Place as though purchasing an event ticket.
