Help Local Children for the Holidays

JHHS Community Services is seeking individual or department sponsorship for 244 children for this coming holiday season. To see the list and register to sponsor a family or a child, go to communityservices.jhmi.edu. New gifts should be delivered unwrapped to the 550 Building, Suite 500, by Dec. 17.

The recipients are members of an organization called Hope Village, which was formerly the Broadway Homes Tenants Association. Hopkins has been working with these families for several years to improve job skills and to assist in other social aspects while the families wait to move into their new homes on the site of the former Church Home and Hospital.

If you prefer to make a financial contribution to this effort, send checks payable to JHHS Community Services, 550 N. Broadway, Suite 510, Baltimore, MD 21205. Indicate "Holiday Gift Giving" on the check. Send any questions to ttodesco@jhmi.edu.
