All

benefit Assistance 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.
