2025 Flu Vaccine & Coat Drive

Earlier this month, our team and community partners gathered for our annual Flu Vaccine & Coat Drive. We are grateful to all of the clients who prioritized their health by getting a flu shot this season. Over two days, we gave out 299 flu vaccines and 486 coats!

This event would not have been possible without the time and energy of our staff and client volunteers, as well as volunteers from Constellation and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing COMPASS Center. We are also grateful to our community partners, the Maryland Food Bank and Bikemore, who were onsite to help clients sign up for local resources.

This event was made possible with support from the Lacovara Family, Wegmans Hunt Valley, Bombas and the Mitzvah Fund for Good Deeds at the Baltimore Community Foundation.

Getting a flu shot is a key way to protect yourself and the people around you from getting sick. Stay safe this flu season by making sure you are up to date with your vaccinations.

STILL NEED YOUR FLU SHOT? GET YOURS TODAY

Plus, help deliver clothes, food, toiletries and more to people experiencing homelessness.
