Since November, the Baltimore region has experienced its coldest winter in 18 years. Arctic blasts have driven temperatures far below seasonal averages, turning everyday inconveniences like heavier coats and higher heating bills into a dangerous, life-threatening reality for individuals and families experiencing homelessness across Baltimore City and Baltimore County. In response to these extreme conditions, St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore (SVDP), in partnership with Baltimore City and Baltimore County, has activated its emergency cold weather response across its three family shelters.

As we face the most severe winter weather yet, your support is what makes these critical services possible.

Here’s how you can help:
