The members of University Baptist Church are actively involved in community service opportunities around Baltimore and support service organizations all over the world. (See a list of the groups that we support below.) We invite you to come serve with us!
*If you are in need of social services, please review the Directory of Baltimore City Community Resources to find a service provider near you.
Abbottston Elementary School
Abbottston Elementary serves children kindergarten through 5th grade in the Waverly area. We have partnered with them to participate in biannual student led conferences to hear from students one-on-one about what they are learning. We have supported other efforts at the school, including back-to-school supply drives, clean up days, and Christmas angel opportunities.
Manna House
Manna House serves a hot breakfast and provides access to lunch and dinner to homeless and food insecure people in Charles Village. Twice a month, we participate with other Churches of Charles to supply sandwiches for sack lunches and frozen casseroles to be used for their takeout dinner service. Volunteers have served breakfast there and we have helped with organizing their food pantry and clothing closet. More about Manna House can be found here.
Marian House
Marian House provides housing and support services to women and their families who are transitioning from homelessness to stability. UBC volunteers have enjoyed cooking dinner and fellowshipping with the women and laughing together over games of bingo. At Christmas time, we have supported some of the residents by purchasing items from holiday wish lists. For more information about Marian House, visit their website.
Sisters Circle
Sisters Circle cultivates one-to-one connections between middle and high school girls and a dynamic circle of women within the Baltimore community. To learn more about Sisters Circle, including what it takes to become a mentor, visit their website or contact stephanie@sisterscircle.org.
Shepherd's Clinic
Shepherd's Clinic is operated by volunteer doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who help meet the healthcare needs of the uninsured poor in Baltimore. Medications are usually free of charge and visits are very inexpensive and based on income (or lack of income). If needed, healthcare workers try to match a patient with a specialist who is willing to donate his/her services. Interested? Visit their website for further details! The clinic is always in need of volunteers and medical supplies.
Woodberry Crossing
This facility sits on 100 acres of woods, with farm animals to feed and pet, a swimming pool, camping area, garden plots, an activities farm, pottery studio, and a greenhouse. In the winter, the farm and its animals come to inner city schools and in the summer, inner city children come to the farm to learn and play. There is also literacy education and parenting program. Woodberry Crossing is always looking for board members and volunteers for summer camps. For more information, visit their website or call Beth Bryant at 410-343-1511.
University Baptist Also Financially Supports the Following Partners:
Billy Clark: Missionary to the Street Boys of Peru
UBC sponsors Billy Clark – a missionary who works with homeless children in Peru. Our letters and financial support make a difference in the lives of Peru's poorest children.
EndPoverty.org
EndPoverty.org partners with various Christian organizations. It promotes a long term approach to relieve poverty in the world. Its goal is to create self-sustaining micro-lending organizations for small business loans, and provides training and mentoring for recipients. The poor are empowered to create income and become motivated to work for a better life.
