Welcome to “Oh Give Thanks 2025: Feed Baltimore with JOY”—J.O.Y. Baltimore’s annual drive to ensure no neighbor goes hungry or unheard this Thanksgiving.
Every $25 you give fills one plate with a hot, holiday-style meal—and wraps an at-risk youth facing homelessness in community, dignity, and hope. This year, our goal is ambitious: $100,000 by October 31. Reaching it will let us:
- Serve 4,000 freshly prepared dinners to at-risk youth, seniors, college students far from home, and anyone struggling to make ends meet.
- Stock mobile grocery boxes with produce, pantry staples, and hygiene kits that keep families nourished long after the last slice of pie.
- Fund year-round case management, counseling, and housing referrals—because solving youth homelessness takes more than one meal.
Why it matters
One in ten Baltimore youth experiences housing instability each year. A warm plate and welcoming table can be the first step toward safety, mentoring, and a new beginning.
