The Need
|
It is estimated that on any given night in Baltimore City between 3,000 and 4,000 people are looking for shelter. The 2006 Office of Transitional Services Annual Report on Homelessness reported that 77 percent of the homeless in Baltimore City were individuals and of the total homeless served 76 percent were men.
|
Our Mission
| United Ministries is a housing and social justice organization dedicated to assisting men who are homeless who want to change their lives, and to changing community attitudes toward the homeless. |
Who We Are
|
|
United Ministries, a faith and community-based 501(c) (3)
nonprofit, was incorporated in 1993 and is a recognized mission of the United
Church of Christ. This project was the vision of Rev.
Eugene Bartell, former pastor of First United Evangelical United Church of
Christ and several persons who volunteered at The Supper Club, a feeding program
at the church. The name United Ministries was chosen to exemplify a broad-based community organization consisting of both secular and ecumenical groups.
Earl’s Place, the first project of United Ministries, opened in 1997 and is named for Earl Johnson, who, before his death was involved both as a client and a volunteer at The Supper Club. United Ministries, through Earl's Place, provides housing and supportive services to homeless men who are homeless. HOPE, HELP, HOME AGAIN!
