HELP BCPS IMPROVE MORE LIVES
Your support is needed now more than ever!
During the pandemic, our staff is working remotely to serve our clients, providing much needed support and guidance. We know that returning citizens will face new challenges in the weeks and months ahead. Our costs to meet immediate needs will rise.
Additionally, as we begin to plan and prepare for reopening our office location with new safety protocols in mind, the cost to secure necessary supplies and items to ensure a safe work environment far exceeds what we have budgeted for the year.
We ask that if you are in a position to help that you consider making a gift to offset the cost of these Covid-19 related items.
We appreciate your help getting us back to serving our clients safely in person!
To donate by check make payable to BCPS and mail to:
