Proceeds
Long Reach High School is working to raise funds for Grassroots. Grassroots is Howard County’s only homeless shelter and crisis intervention center. It is open 24-hours a
day, seven days per week and helps anyone in need, free of charge.
Last year, Grassroots received over 30,000 calls to the hotline from people in crisis. Over 1,600 people met face-to-face with crisis counselors. When Howard County
schools ended in June of this year, there were almost 600 homeless children attending 61 schools in our community. Grassroots depends on community support to help those who need it most. Grassroots is a not-for-profit organization located on Freetown Road in Columbia. All donations are tax deductible.
