ACTC: A community of churches, organizations, and individuals answering A Call To Care
Reaching out to those in need with God's love and provision
IMPORTANT: Response to COVID-19
At this time of national emergency, ACTC has modified services as follows.
- The center is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Friday, for food distribution only. No financial assistance or other services are available.
- Food distribution includes only lunches for the homeless and prepacked grocery bags every two weeks for neighbors in need.
- Food donations are gratefully received by the process described here. Please do not drop food donations off at the center.
These changes are intended to reduce person-to-person contact at the center and allow us to continue operating for as long as possible with reduced numbers of volunteers and staff. Thank you for your understanding and for your continued prayers and support.
We are...
- A consortium of churches that provides food and emergency help for neighbors in need
- Supported through generous contributions from organizations, companies, foundations, and individuals in our community
We offer...
- Daily food for the homeless
- Emergency groceries for individuals and families in need in northern and central Baltimore County and northern Baltimore City
- Hardship relief (suspended temporarily in response to COVID-19)
- Food and support for individuals recently released from prison
-
Outreach and referrals for additional assistance (suspended temporarily in response to COVID-19)
Serving Our Community for 35 Years
ACTC opened its doors in 1985 after a study by the Towson Area Ministerial Association identified effective ways to meet the needs of people coming to churches for help. Since then, the initial consortium of 14 area churches has more than tripled in number.
Today, with the support of dozens of churches and a community of partners, our service area incorporates 19 zip codes in northern and central Baltimore County and northern Baltimore City.
The center is overseen by a director and small staff and operates with a team of more than 60 trained volunteers.
