Our Location
A Field Trip with HdG Middle School’s Delish Cooking Club!
HCAA took 10 middle schoolers, from the Delish Cooking Club at HdG Middle School, on a field trip to put to use the tools they learned completing our 6-week food advocacy programs.
Our first stop was Pizza Hut where the students were able to take a tour of the restaurant, learn about the restaurant operations/possible jobs, and make their own pizzas. They also ate salad!
Maryland Energy Assistance Program (MEAP)
The Maryland Energy Assistance Program provides assistance with winter fuel bills once during the heating season. The income eligibility for MEAP is 175% of poverty.
Homeless Prevention / Eviction Services
The Homeless Prevention Program helps prevent homelessness by providing residents with up to $500 in grant assistance to pay their rent or mortgage.
Food Pantry / Bank
The Food Pantry / Bank emergency and/or supplemental food is available once every 30 days to clients who are in need of nourishment.
