Network For The Needy

Under the Bridge Ministries

The Chesapeake Chapter has collected unused toiletries for this cause at several educational programs throughout the year.

UTB ministries are a group of individuals that work together to provide some of the many needs to the homeless in downtown Baltimore. They are an all volunteer and donation based outreach. They meet each Saturday under the Jones Falls Bridge and provide a warm meal, some necessities, ministry, and music to those in need.
