Need Help? Here’s What ACTC Can Do
Food
- Groceries every two weeks for anyone living in our service area (scroll down for map and zip code listing)
- Lunches every weekday for people who are homeless
Food can be picked up Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at 116 W. Pennsylvania Avenue in downtown Towson. And Wednesdays from 4:00 p.m. to 7 p.m. for groceries only.
Emergency Financial Help
ACTC’s Financial Assistance Office is open, and can offer limited assistance for rental eviction or BGE turn-off notices.
All applications for financial assistance require the completion of a jotform to be by clicking the button below. Requests must be made through the jotform as no in person meetings are offered at this time. Volunteers are available to process requests on TU/W/TH from 10-2. If you previously applied, and did not receive assistance, you must apply again to be considered to be sure all the information is current and complete.
Please see the map below to determine if you are eligible for our assistance since we are limited to specific zip codes. Please note that we can offer financial assistance one time only. If you received assistance since October of 2020, we cannot assist again. We are a small, volunteer-run office. Please be patient as there are many who request our help.
