Marriage Resource Center of Frederick (MRCF) was founded in 2005 and for over 14 years, has been an integral partner and resource for many in Frederick County. Our Mission continues — Building strong marriages, families, and communities in Frederick County.
Our Vision continues – To be a beacon of hope in the Frederick Community by equipping and encouraging individuals and couples to develop strong relationships, lasting and Godly marriages. MRCF is the “go to” organization in Frederick County for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) explanation and teaching. We’re helping others to understand the origins of their wounds that in turn helps them recognize and heal from these wounds. This understanding helps build and RE-build strong relationships’ areas of focus and action: Marriages in crisis, enhancing marital communication, helping the broken to be made whole, supporting those looking for “the one,” how to BE the RIGHT one, preventing broken relationships, families in chaos, practicing peace in your family. The cycle of negativity stops here.
MRCF is proud to partner in this work with many other local NFPs including Frederick Rescue Mission, Family Partnership, Housing Authority, Boys and Girls Club, S.H.I.P., Community Foundation, United Way, Crossed Bridges, local churches, and many others. Lives are being impacted through the Marriage Resource Center of Frederick County !!!

The Parents Lead Program at Frederick Community College is an access, retention, and completion program for student-parents. It targets parents who may have thought that completing a college degree while working and raising a family was impossible.
The program provides financial support to assist with child rearing costs including child care, a carefully designed set of courses that are designed around the experiences and needs of working parents while teaching them the academic and advocacy skills needed for long term success, a supportive learning community, and regular and supportive advising.
As Frederick begins to recover from COVID-19, FCC will play a big role in helping unemployed parents get back to work. Help the FCC Foundation make the future brighter for parents and their families with your gift to Parents Lead. Thank you!

Platoon 22 has its mission: to end Veteran suicide through the successful reintegration of service members and their families. We will accomplish this by assembling critical resources, providing peer support, and developing transitional programs. These services allow us to meet the Veteran where they are today and provide the support to reach tomorrow.
Our team is constantly evaluating the community need to ensure to meet the needs of Veterans. Offerings include, but are not limited it, recreational outings, holidays meals, housing vouchers, and more.
As the Platoon Veteran Services Center opens its doors in 2021, we anticipate serving 3,000+ Veterans (and their families) in the first year. We are planning to use the funds raised through the Unity Campaign to include a computer lab within the center to assist with resume writing, home searches, etc., as well as, stocking the hygiene pantry to serve homeless Veterans. All funds will be used toward programming and offerings!

Mission
Our mission is to help refugees transition to life in the Frederick region and ultimately become self-sufficient. Before a refugee family arrives, we assist LSSNCA in finding them suitable housing in the area. We then prepare their home with donated furniture and household items. Then, once the family arrives, we continue to support them by providing assistance with accessing vital resources including those related to cultural adaptation, job placement, transportation, school enrollment, health services, and navigating bureaucracy. Additionally, as English speaking skills are important to achieving independence, we help families enroll in ESL classes or receive in-home ESL tutoring.

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.

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.

Through its Critical Services Partnership with the Frederick County Public Schools, the Spanish Speaking Community of Maryland (SSCM) addresses the many unmet needs of students and their families related to domestic violence, human trafficking, neglect and other abuses.
SSCM offers a safe haven environment that promotes dignity, self-sufficiency, and open and honest interactions with those who may be victims of abuse. Working in coordination with our many partner organizations and FCPS counselors, principals and other school personnel, SSCM’s staff removes language barriers so that victims feel safe and empowered to report these types of acts.
Our team provides confidential legal guidance and representation; arranges mental health referrals for victims and their children; offers assistance with employment opportunities; and provides clothing and other essentials for everyday living through direct support and through the efforts of our partners. SSCM also prepares U Visa applications, which assist crime victims and their families; translates documents; helps report violations to authorities; takes victims to collect medical and police reports; and ensures victims are protected and have the resources needed to embark upon a new way of life.

The Arc of Frederick County assists persons with developmental disabilities and their families to obtain the services they need and want in order to become as independent as possible and to enjoy quality of life within our community.
The Arc of Frederick County hosts a wide variety of support groups for parents, families and individuals. This allows us to reach out to people in different ways and continue to meet ever-changing needs of individuals and families. We frequently receive many requests for different support groups as individuals and families want the opportunity to discuss a variety of topics in a safe and open setting. We currently offer the following Support Groups: Parent Support Group, Mother’s Support Group, Hispanic Support Group, Brain Injury Support Group, Sibling Workshops and Parents’ Day Out. The Arc believes in serving families holistically so it is critical to offer different groups to meet the needs of different audiences (and to make sure no one is getting overlooked or unnoticed).
The Arc of Frederick County is anticipating budget cuts on a statewide level and this will require The Arc to cut back on specific programming and unfortunately we will need to scale back our time spent on support groups. We would like to apply monies raised through The Unity Campaign towards our efforts for support groups as we know it is a very valuable resource for individuals and families. The Arc of Frederick County greatly values the opportunity to be a part of The Unity Campaign as its collective impact on the Frederick community is incredible. It is important for members of the Frederick community to see all of the nonprofits working together to serve Frederick. By donors seeing the greater impact, it adds leverage to those requesting donations.
