We are Better Together! Sharing love, showing kindness, and meeting needs. Let's make a difference in our cities!
The “For Hagerstown” effort is bringing together local non-profit and church organizations, as well as coordinating with government agencies to provide the best possible responses to the issues in our community. We need to work together since we’re in this together.
Rather than organizations trying to do their own efforts, we are coordinating and combining efforts to meet the greatest number of needs and serve the most people through one united effort.
Come together for a combined Serve Day on October 28th where we will be For Hagerstown by going out and serving our community in practical ways.
Bring the kids, bring your friends, bring a smile and
a willing heart. Activities may vary but will include activities such as passing out free items at a park, offering quarters at a laundry mat, or doing fun activities downtown.
10am-Noon
Meet at 515 E Wilson Blvd. at 10am.
No pre-registration is needed.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. There are also strong connections between human trafficking and pornography.
The Hagerstown Dream Center serves families and children who are struggling by providing necessary items,
community, hope and encouragement. This is done through monthly diaper giveaways and parenting groups.
