Final Push for The Baltimore Station Expansion
Last year, the members of TBS Board of Directors and our many supporters raised over $4 million and completed the expansion project on time and on budget, We increased our capacity from 40 to 92 beds at South Baltimore Station and now serve 132 men between our two facilities, in South Baltimore and Seton Hill.
Despite this success record,
we still need your help to make up a loss of a $150,000 from the City of Baltimore due to recent cutbacks to complete our project. With many hands helping to lay the final bricks and make the final beds, we will put this capital campaign to rest. Please join us by purchasing a Bed or a Brick.
BRICKS
$500 - buys a large brick to be prominently displayed on our Walk of Recognition outside the new facility.
$150 - buys a small brcik to be placed on the Walk of Recognition.
BEDS
$1000 - sponsors a bunk bed and man's wardrobe in the dormitory.

The Baltimore Station residents and Student Sharing Coalition (SSC) volunteers, led by Al Phillips, TBS Volunteer Coordinator and Brandy Kelly, SSC Director of Programs joined other advocates from Health-Care for the Homeless, National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) and the National Association for Social Workers (NASW) for the Annual "Advocacy Day" in Annapolis. The outing, a beyond-the-classroom learning experience, gave residents and students a chance to take a deeper look at the influential role of advocates in the legislative process. Our delegation was among about 300 other college students from social work programs across Maryland who congregated in the state’s capital on Feb. 26 for the annual event.
This year, NASW-Maryland is supporting the legislative agenda This year NASW-Maryland is supporting the legislative agenda of the Maryland Chapter of NCADD, including its efforts to increase the state alcoholic beverage tax and dedicate a portion of the revenue to addiction treatment and prevention services; improve access to treatment services to people enrolled in Medicaid; and eliminate disincentives that inhibit people from seeking emergency aid in overdose situations.
The experience allowed the students to see the senators and delegates as real people who understand the issues our citizens face, and gave the students a hand-on opportunity to see political process in action.

Earlier this year, Dr. Denise Markoff and the Federal Hill Smiles team, along with Linthicum-based Dr. Jason Elliott, offered free services to the men of The Baltimore Station, acting as the hosts of the latest event for Dentistry From The Heart.
Their team of 8 treated 27 TBS residents and provided $15,242.00 worth of dentistry.
For the past 10 years, Dr. Markoff has been involved with charitable and humanitarian efforts both at home and abroad. Along with the Federal Hill Smiles team, she has helped hundreds of people by treating patients in need of fillings, extractions and cleanings.
Dentistry From The Heart (DFTH) is a national nonprofit organization with a simple mission—making people smile. Founded in 2001 by Dr. Vincent Monticciolo in New Port Richey, Fla., DFTH was created to aid those in need, including the growing population of under-insured Americans. More than 100 million Americans lack dental insurance, and more than 29 percent of adults have untreated cavities. To date, DFTH has helped more than 10,500 patients and provided more than $2.5 million in dental care services.
