Serve a Saturday
Join the FAITH team on one of our scheduled Saturdays. We coordinate everything — you just need to put your name on the list and show up. Families welcome.
Arundel House of Hope (AHOH) is a Glen Burnie nonprofit that's been walking alongside men and women experiencing homelessness since 1992. They started as a handful of local churches who decided they couldn't keep driving past the problem — and today they're the only group in the county that offers a continuous path from the moment someone becomes homeless all the way to permanent, independent housing.
Their work covers a Resource and Day Center, a Warming Center, the Winter Relief emergency shelter (hosted by rotating churches each week from late October through March), a Community Recovery Center, and both transitional and permanent housing programs. It takes more than 50 partner churches and 2,000 volunteers to keep it running.
And they're a short walk from our front door. AHOH's headquarters sits at 7164 E. Furnace Branch Road — same street as FAITH, a few buildings down. When the Bible talks about loving your neighbor, this is about as literal as it gets.
FAITH serves at Arundel House of Hope roughly six Saturdays a year — about once every other month. It's a manageable rhythm: not so often that it eats your calendar, frequent enough to actually build relationships with the staff and the guests we get to know.
If you've never served before, this is a great place to start. You don't need a special skill set. Just be willing to show up, be kind, and treat every person you meet like the image-bearer they are.

AHOH always needs the basics — toiletries, socks, men's clothing in larger sizes, blankets, and non-perishable food. Drop items at the FAITH office anytime and we'll route them.
Pray for AHOH staff, for the people they serve, and for our local response to homelessness. The hardest cases on their list are real names and real stories. Pray by name when you can.
AHOH's own site has the full picture — their history, the programs they run, the people who lead them, and ways to support beyond our church partnership.
Email info@faithbc.net and we'll add you to the AHOH team roster. We send a reminder a week before each serve date with the time, what to bring, and where to meet.
