Economic mobility is one of the cornerstones of AHC's Resident Services program. In Baltimore we are partnering with Baltimore City Community College to create a hub for GED classes for our 5 Baltimore Communities (Monteverde, Madeira, Greenspring Overlook, Barclay Greenmount and Union Rowe). We are looking for volunteers to support the GED classes in July & August.

We are looking for volunteers to make Snack Bags to give to seniors at Greenspring Overlook, an affordable housing apartment community!

Making snack bags is a great family and group volunteer opportunity. You will buy or collect the supplies and then decorate/assemble the bags, and drop them off at Greenspring Overlook.

Snack bags are paper lunch bags filled with a small water bottle and 3 small snack items (crackers, Goldfish, chips, cookies, etc). Decorating the bags is fun but optional.

Support New Afterschool Programs in Baltimore! Donate Supplies to Help Local Students Thrive

Affordable Homes & Communities (AHC) is excited to launch new afterschool and summer enrichment programs at our Baltimore apartment communities—and we need your help to set our students up for success!

AHC is a nonprofit affordable housing provider that believes Housing + Education = Success. Our Resident Services team supports youth and families by offering free programming right where they live. As we expand into Baltimore, we're building out our learning spaces with donated supplies for hands-on activities, creative expression, academic support, and social-emotional growth.

We’re currently collecting new or gently used items to stock our classrooms and "comfy corners"—places where kids can feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn.

Arts – Paint supplies, coloring books, sketch paper, glue sticks, stickers, and more (please, no glitter!)
STEM – Science kits, puzzles, robotic toys, and math games
Literacy – Books that reflect Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility, student dictionaries, pencils, rulers, etc.
Socio-emotional Learning/IEP/504 Supports – Fidget toys, stress balls, soft pillows, rugs, squishmallows

We're also seeking costumes for imaginative play and fun!
