After the 29th Street Community Center was slated to close, Strong City Baltimore restored and reopened in The Center in July of 2013. Since then, we have offered over 100 unique and diverse programs, community strengthening events, and essential public services to thousands of community residents of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds. Although 2020 has come with many challenges, we choose to celebrate The Center’s 7th birthday and our recent accomplishments!
During the COVID-19 stay at home order, our staff quickly pivoted to offer services over the phone to the children enrolled in our After-School Program and their families:
On July 13, The Center reopened to the public with procedures in place to keep everyone safe in accordance with the CDC’s guidelines:
As we celebrate our birthday and look towards the future, we commit to continuing to incorporate community member’s input into our programming, serving as an employment pipeline for youth in our neighborhood, providing a safe space for youth, and presenting more events in the Gertrude S. William Speaker Series. These services are provided at no cost to the community thanks to Baltimore City, foundations, and the generosity of individual donors.
Help us celebrate our 7th birthday by making a contribution to The 29th Street Community Center. Our goal is to raise $7,000 to continue to serve as a neighborhood resource during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. You can make a difference through a donation to The Center, where community members to learn, connect, receive support, and gather.
