Caring for Our Communities
Empowering Minds Together
The outbreak of COVID-19 is a global concern, with effects filtering down to family, friends, and communities close to you and me that are in critical need of assistance. Lives are disrupted, more people than ever are calling out for help, and responders are hard-pressed to meet the overwhelming demand.
In these challenging times, small acts of goodness are more important than ever. Caring for communities is part of our promise to improve more lives in more ways.
Empowering Minds connected with Amazon and the Salvation Army to provide non-perishable items and household goods monthly.
We have partnered with Iota Phi Theta Fraternity to give out items last month. We will continue to feed our homeless population and provide items to communities in need. We plan to be in several locations throughout Baltimore City, Harford County and Anne Arundel County. Look out for our announcements of locations, dates, and times.

Be Safe is an app that enables people at risk of overdose to anonymously connect with remote support. This could be a useful tool to help people who use drugs reduce the risk of overdose when they are using alone.
The organization, Brave, that developed the app are based in Vancouver. However, supports are available in the United States. To join the Maryland Public Community in the app, use the join code “Maryland”.
