The
Towson Rotary Club
has served the the community continuously since 1927.
Remember that this event is being organized in order to ultimately improve the lives of others less fortunate than ourselves in the Baltimore area.
All proceeds from
Wheels At The Ridge
go to benefit Assitance Center of Towson Churches (ACTC).
The Assistance Center of Towson Churches
offers an ecumenical program providing help to poor
and needy families in our community. ACTC
developed as a result of a study conducted by the Towson
Area Ministerial Association, exploring an effective
and efficient way to meet the needs of people coming
to churches requesting help. As a result, fourteen churches
joined together to organize the Assistance Center; forty
three churches now participate in the outreach effort.
The Assistance Center opened in 1985 to provide emergency
assistance. Located at 120 W. Pennsylvania Avenue (between
Baltimore and Washington Avenues) in Towson. The office
is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m..
The center is run by a director and a team of trained
volunteers who interview each applicant to determine
their specific needs.
Financial assistance is available to those in
ACTC's area bounded by
zones 21210, 21212 and 21239 on the south, west to Falls
Rd, east to include all of 21234 and north to the state
line.
