HELP BCPS IMPROVE MORE LIVES
Your support is needed now more than ever!
On June 29th, our staff returned to the office with a staggered schedule following new protocols and procedures to ensure everyone's safety. While we continue to provide services virtually, we are scheduling appointments to meet with clients in person and allow them to utilize our Computer Based Learning Center.
Our services and support are needed now more than ever as returning citizens face new challenges in the weeks and months ahead. Our costs to meet immediate needs will rise.
If you are in a position to help, please consider making a gift today.
Thank you for your kind support.
