April 11 event expected to serve more than 400
individuals in Baltimore
Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) will host its first “Free
Market” on April 11, 2014, from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at 421
Fallsway in Baltimore. More than 400 individuals experiencing
homelessness are expected to shop for essentials such as socks and
underwear, travel-size soaps and shampoos, water bottles, and
snacks at the market, which will be stocked and staffed by employee
volunteers from Constellation.
HCH outreach workers will be on hand to help people enroll in
Medicaid and to provide information about a range of HCH and
community services available to assist them.
“Through Friday’s Free Market, Constellation employees join our
dedicated staff in meeting our clients’ most basic human needs,”
said Kevin Lindamood, HCH president and CEO. “Constellation is a
model of corporate commitment to the Baltimore community and to the
most vulnerable among us.”
Constellation employees donated hundreds of items for the HCH
Free Market. Approximately 50 volunteers from Constellation will
stock the market and assist individuals in finding items that they
need. Volunteers will also paint and refresh the outside entrance
to HCH’s headquarters.
“Constellation and our employees are committed to improving the
quality of life in the communities we serve,” said Robert Gauch,
chief credit officer for Constellation, and HCH board member.
“We’re proud to support the mission of HCH, which is vital to the
well-being of thousands of individuals and families in our hometown
of Baltimore.”
