Earlier this month, the Grassroots emergency shelter expanded, adding 20 more beds. Right now, more than 70 children and adults call Grassroots home, nearly 40% more than this time last year. These are our neighbors like Natasha, a single mother who was evicted while struggling with a serious medical condition and the tragic loss of her daughter. While staying with Grassroots, our team helped her find new housing that offered her and her children a safe and happy new place to live. “Everything was falling on me at the same time. I feel like Grassroots helped me tremendously. I feel as though anybody who is going through a hard time with being homeless, just keep pushing and believe in yourself and know that Grassroots really does help.” Grassroots is here to support anyone 24 hours a day with crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and support for individuals and families with a mental health, substance use or homelessness crisis. We can't do this without you. We depend upon contributions from the community to serve our neighbors in crisis. You can help by sharing your good fortune and making a contribution to Grassroots today. Thank you so much for your support today and every day. https://lnkd.in/e_erftDB #emergencyshelter #crisissupport #communitygiving #thankyou #weloveourdonors #nonprofitsupport #happynewyear

Thank you so much to our friends at ADG Creative! As a team, they gathered critical items like food, snacks, hygiene products and diapers. They also hosted a group activity to use their talents to make 70 yummy bagged lunches for those staying at our emergency shelter, as well as beautiful homemade cards to share wishes for a happy holiday season. According to the team, they used to do an internal cookie exchange, but decided last year to use their skills instead to help those in need. They are happy to work with Grassroots because they are "honored to have the opportunity to be a small bright light in someone's day." We are honored to count them as partners! Thank you to Mary Wilcox and Tori Peck for dropping off these wonderful items! #emergencyshelter #crisissupport #communitygiving #thankyou #mealsforthehomeless #holidaydonation #holidaygiving #baltimoreadcommunity

Thank you so much to our amazing donors and volunteers who have helped make the holidays brighter for the families and children staying in our emergency shelter. This Christmas, we have more than 70 individuals celebrating the holidays at Grassroots, and we are so thankful to everyone who has helped in bringing so much joy and merriment. Last week, we hosted our Winter Wonderland event, complete with a visit by Santa Claus (also known as Frank Campbell, husband of Nancy Campbell, Grassroots' Sr. Director of Operations). Santa met with all of the children and provided gift bags to children and adults alike that included handmade blankets, hat, scarves and other treats. Earlier this month, our parents had an opportunity to pick out presents for their children, while our kids had an opportunity to do the same for their parents thanks to gifts provided by some very generous donors! Thank you so much to our amazing donors, including: - The Jewish Federation of Howard County - Ellicott City Knitters - Bank of America - Faithful Circles Quilter - Phi Sigma Sigma at Penn State/People Who Need People - Harriet Tubman Cultural Center - Temple Isaiah - Zinta Group of Howard County - Jefferson Place - Rida Allen - The Youth Project USA - Jada Garrett - Pam Failing It takes a village to create our holiday village, and we are so thankful for our donors and supporters. We wish everyone a beautiful and joyous holiday! #emergencyshelter #crisissupport #nonprofit #weloveourdonors #holidaygiving #holidaygiveback #holidaydonations
