Our mission is to work with our neighbors to build a hopeful future, in the Spirit of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, through a focus on the self-sufficiency and well-being of the whole person.
Many of the families we serve are working people living at or below the poverty or ALICE Report income levels. Often times people who work hard to be self-sufficient find that even a minor emergency can result in unpaid bills or loss of housing.
SOAR is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to serving Frederick County senior citizens to assist with their essential needs.
We envision a world where older adults feel loved, respected, and recognized for all they have done for their families and our community. Until then, our mission is to do all we can to help and support them to live their lives with dignity.

It’s all about the details, from the creative castle of Fantasy Land, the magical tea party of Wonder Land, and the adventurous Lost Boys Tree House in Never Land. Each detail handpicked by the Lillard family, reminiscent of family memories with Sophie and Madigan, in order to maximize the wonder each child will feel when they come to the playground. Our mission is too honor the lives of Sophie and Madigan Lillard by building a memorial playground and providing opportunities for children and their families to play, learn, and create lifelong memories together, and in ways that reflect the beautiful personalities and spirits of these two sisters. Phase one of the playground is currently open for families to visit.

At Second Chances Garage we put cars in the hands of low-income working individuals and families who do not have a car. Imagine for a moment your life without a car. Hard, isn’t it? Yet too many hard-working low-income Frederick families wake up every morning having to face life without a car, relying on the bus, expensive cabs or Lyft. Public transportation is inadequate. A 9 min car ride can take 45 minutes by bus. Imagine, if you were a single mom, getting your kids to daycare, then to work and maybe to FCC for classes. Think about making that all work without a car. The things we take for granted, like running out to the grocery store, going to appointments, taking the kids to after school activities, finding a better job or simply visiting friends or relatives becomes a major hurdle. We are a unique local nonprofit. We accept donations of used vehicles, refurbish them, and transform lives by giving those cars a second chance in the hands of those so much in need. To keep cars on the road so people can get to work, we also provide reduced-cost auto repair to low-income Frederick families. To continue and grow and transform lives we need your help. Without a car, opportunities are not just limited, many are simply unavailable.

Helping Children in Need Sleep Better
All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In Idaho and across the US, too many boys and girls go without a bed—or even a pillow—to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and health.
That’s where Sleep in Heavenly Peace® comes in. We’re a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. Our organization has grown steadily over time, and we’re working on opening more chapters in different states to serve more people.
Small Town Stars Theatre (STS) Company was founded in 2015 by Miranda Secula. Their first production was Grease in the summer of 2016 at the Carroll County Arts Center. They are now thrilled to have found their home in Hampstead, MD! For more information about STS Theatre Company please contact smalltownstarstheatre@gmail.com.

SOAR has been providing services to seniors aged 65 and older in Frederick County since 2015. Seniors are the largest growing population and are among the most vulnerable and underserved among us. Seniors live on a fixed income without the ability to increase that income for the remainder of their lives. Many of them are health impaired and rely on important medications, home modifications, and medical equipment to assist them. They have served their families, their communities, and their country and now many need our support.
SOAR was created to meet the increasing needs that exist for this special population. We work hard to ensure that our seniors are treated with dignity and respect and strive to meet their needs. Many live in substandard housing an do not know where to turn. Many live without the ability to get to the store, the doctor, the pharmacy as they either cannot afford a car or can no longer drive. Basic, essential every day needs are difficult for them to obtain. SOAR is an organization that provides direct assistance and support without the bureaucracy, red tape, and frustrations that often exist. We work with physicians, social workers, nurses, and therapists to support their patients/clients and have a great partnership within the Senior Services division, local hospital, and department of social services.
Without the vital support that SOAR provides, many seniors would be left feeling hopeless, forgotten, and often living without their basic needs.

Eviction papers; a notice the electricity or water will be shut off; a prescription medicine that is unaffordable – these are a few examples of financial crisis that some of our Frederick County neighbors face.
An illness or hospitalization that keeps a worker from their job and their pay; a trusted friend/husband/wife walks out on others they have been caring for; the only car quits running and needs expensive repair; angry family members cut off their help and support – these are a few of the reasons that cause financial crises.
People just barely getting by paycheck to paycheck simply cannot meet all their obligations when the unexpected happens. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is there with compassion, a listening ear, and usually some financial assistance to get them through.
Donations to St. Vincent de Paul Society go directly into the grateful hands of our Frederick County neighbors in need. Vincentians are an all-volunteer group, and you can be assured your entire gift will be used intelligently, respectfully, and with a prayer that those receiving the funds find or regain stability, health, and security in every area of their life.
