United Ministries,

Volunteers at the Supper Club, a soup kitchen in Fells Point, started United Ministries in 1993. United Ministries is a housing and social justice organization dedicated to assisting homeless men who want to change their lives and to changing community attitudes toward the homeless. The name United Ministries was chosen to exemplify a broad-based community organization consisting of both secular and ecumenical groups. Having identified the need to “do more than just feed people”, Earl’s Place, a transitional housing program was opened in December of 1997. Earl did not live to see the results of his inspiration, but thanks to the dedication of those initial volunteers and others Earl’s Place continues to assist men like Earl. Our goal is to assist men who are homeless in reclaiming their lives, rebuilding relationships, and rejoining society as positive and product citizens.
