Full story

St. Francis Neighborhood Center is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), community based organization in the Reservoir Hill area of Baltimore. They serve as a resource and catalyst for improving the lives of those in Reservoir Hill and making Baltimore a better place, and have been doing so since 1963. By utilizing education, art, mentoring and tutoring they work to provide people with the tools they need to advance their lives financially and socially, while fostering positive interpersonal and community connections.

2910 on the Square is a gift shop located in the heart of Canton (right on the square). Carrying unique gifts for all occasions, the shop has been a neighborhood staple for 16 years and often donates/supports Baltimore charities. 2910 on the Square employee Elisa designed this art during the recent unrest in Baltimore and we wanted to create this campaign to support St. Francis Neighborhood Center's summer kids program: the Summer of Service Excursion. This program is a six-week intensive summer youth development program serving the community of Reservoir Hill. They engage local youth ages 5 to 14 in impactful and innovative service projects aimed at alleviating issues affecting Baltimore communities. The end of the program culminates in service projects that are presented to parents, staff and volunteers.
