The Charities
On our own of Frederick County is a wellness and recovery center located in Downtown Frederick, Maryland. We are a non-profit organization providing peer support, resources, advocacy, life/recovery coaching, educational training and so much more to adults and families in Frederick County who experience mental health challenges and/or substance use disorder.
The hub of culture, commerce, and government, our urban downtown with a small-town feel is vibrant, walkable, welcoming to all, and economically vital. Downtown Frederick is a real place. We value our beautiful architecture and history-lined streets, our neighborhood character and characters, our friendly independent businesses, and our year-round events.
Blessings in a Backpack motivates individuals, communities, and businesses to provide non-perishable, kid-friendly food to local school children every weekend and over school breaks when school meals are unavailable. We are an all-volunteer local organization committed to raising awareness about childhood hunger.
