The Need

It is estimated that on any given night in Baltimore
City between
3,000 and 4,000 people are looking for shelter.

Homelessness reported

in Baltimore City
were individuals and of the total
homeless served 76 percent
were men.

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.
