Good health starts at home and healthy residents make our community better

Our wellness programs and assistance resources help every person meet their needs to live a healthier life

Donations for Bon Secours Community Works programs and services give much-needed help to people in West Baltimore. The most basic needs like safe housing, healthy food, a steady job, or access to health care are vital for a person's wellness, yet often challenging to afford.

A number of free services are available through Community Works to help people improve health and quality of life for themselves, their family and the entire community. But we depend on the ongoing generosity of donors like you and grant-making organizations to be there for everyone in their times of greatest need. Your donation today will help a person overcome their financial challenges to better care for themselves and their loved ones.

Healthy Foods

People who are most in need often struggle to find food for their next meal. And buying healthy foods and produce is a luxury they can't afford. Thanks to Bon Secours Baltimore Foundation's donors, West Baltimore residents can turn to Community Works for free groceries including meats, fresh fruits and vegetables and pantry staples.

The donor-supported Bon Secours Urban Farm on West Fayette Street has a community garden, greenhouses and a plant nursery to help improve the health of the neighborhood's residents. The farm offers youth gardening programs, nutrition education, food distribution and a mobile farmer's market to help families have easy and affordable access to healthy foods and fresh produce. A workforce development program even teaches participants gardening skills that can lead to better employment. All thanks to donors like you!
