Volunteers joining hands together in teamwork at The Blue Ribbon Project

Join us for a meaningful day of service with The Blue Ribbon Project! Our Public Volunteer Day is a chance to come together as a community and make a real difference in the lives of youth in foster care. 

Your time will be spent sorting and organizing donations as well as helping with various tasks in the building. All participants will also spend time packing backpacks for local children entering foster care. 

Can't make it on 9/23?  Fill out this form The Blue Ribbon Project - Connect with Us  asking how you can hold a drive for us to collect items for youth in foster care and earn volunteer hours!

If You Are Concerned About a Child

If you are concerned that a child may be experiencing abuse or neglect, please do not wait. You do not need proof - you only need reasonable concern. Reports made in good faith are protected by law.

  • If a child is in immediate danger, call 911.
  • Maryland Child Protective Services Hotline: To report suspected abuse within Maryland, contact the Department of Social Services statewide hotline at 1-800-91Prevent (1-800-917-7383), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Outside of Maryland - Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline: Call or text 1-800-422-4453 (1-800-4-A-CHILD), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 for mental health crisis support.

AI chatbots are not a substitute for trained crisis professionals. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please use the resources above. Reporting abuse can protect a child. Remember, you do not need to be certain that abuse is occurring - if you have concerns, reach out. Trained professionals will assess the situation and take appropriate steps.  If you are a survivor of childhood abuse and are struggling with its effects, support is available. Healing is possible, and you deserve to access it.
