Every cent of every dollar contributed to The Coordinating Center is used to support the families we serve through the Family Resource Fund. This Fund was established to assist families at critical times -- when no other funds are available. We have supported children and families with developmental toys, transportation to hospitals for training, specialized equipment, with scholarships to summer camp...the list is long and varied because each family's situation is unique. Here's how you can help and all donations are fully tax deductible:

• Send a check to The Center earmarked for The Family Resource Fund
• Designate The Coordinating Center for Home and Community Care (designate us by using #2582) for your United Way payroll deduction in Maryland
• Baltimore City employees can designate us during the annual Community Campaign using #2582
• Additionally, shoppers at Food Lion can designate The Coordinating Center
