Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan created a website Tuesday called Maryland Unites to help residents dealing with the aftermath of the recent Baltimore riots.
“We have received an outpouring of support from Marylanders and people all around the country who want to help get our beloved Baltimore back on its feet in the wake of the violence and destruction,” Mr. Hogan, a Republican, said in a statement. “This Web page is a one-stop shop for citizens to help, and I encourage everyone to do what they can to assist Charm City at this difficult time.”
The Salvation Army of Central Maryland, the Red Cross of the Greater Chesapeake Region, the Central Region United Way and Associated Black Charities are all linked from that site.
In addition, there is another link to contact police and report any incidents in Baltimore.
Finally, if any volunteers want to lend a hand for cleanup or other duties, another link has a form that volunteers can fill out to put them in touch with Mr. Hogan’s Office of Community Initiatives.
For more information on services available in Baltimore City, call the Department of Human Resources’ Information Hotline at 1-888-756-7836.
