Group Projects

group about our program, call Sheila Helgerson at 410-522-0225, or email info@earlsplace.org.
Drives

Adopt a Resident
- Each year the residents complete a wish list of items they need/would like to receive. For many of the men this is the first time in years that they have received a gift. A wish list of desired items is provided; you may then purchase items from the list. We request you wrap the items and drop off the items mid-December.
Share a Meal
- Prepare and share a meal with residents – it is a great opportunity to fellowship with some of the men.
OR
- Join us for a Dessert Night (you bring the dessert and we will provide the drinks) and fellowship.
Adopt an Apartment Program
- Homeless families entering permanent housing have few possessions. Congregations, corporations, and community groups adopt an apartment by furnishing these homes for incoming residents. See our wish list for residents establishing a new home.
