Making a Difference
Strong City Baltimore, a non-profit organization working to build and strengthen neighborhoods and
people in Baltimore, was established in 1969 as the Greater Homewood Community Corporation.
Strong City provides and runs a number of programs throughout Baltimore including the Club at Collington Square.
The Club at Collington Square is committed to providing a structured, loving haven in a very tough
Baltimore neighborhood. The objective of the program is to help develop children as learners and
leaders. Operating after school and during the summer, the Club serves 90 children, primarily from
Kindergarten to 7th grade.
A two-year grant from the Baltimore Women’s Giving Circle will be used for general operations of
the Club at Collington Square, primarily to support two staff positions.
