Why Donate?

When you support the Family Crisis Center of Baltimore County…

  • You ensure that children have a safe, comfortable, healthy place to call home.
  • You make sure that one more woman has the opportunity to find secure, permanent housing, allowing her to break free from an abusive relationship.
  • You make it possible for a family in crisis to work with one of FCC’s skilled family psychotherapists learning how together, they can resolve their conflicts.
  • You provide support to help a woman face her abuser in court as she stands up and seeks legal protection for herself and her young children.
  • You make sure there are diapers available for the newborn baby who returns from the hospital with her mom to FCC’s Emergency Safe Shelter; the first home she will ever know.
  • Your support makes it possible for FCC staff to extend these opportunities to individuals and families every single day.
