What can we at ASEC contribute to help relieve the growing problem of homelessness here in Frederick? This organization (formerly known as “The Religious Coalition”) strives to prevent homelessness for those who face eviction orders, and to provide shelter and essential supplies to those who already have nowhere to live. Rents in Frederick continue to rise precipitously, and so many families and senior citizens are struggling just to hold on to what they have. They risk a harsh life of living in the streets and parks of our town. Beyond Shelter responds to at least 30 - 40 new requests for help every week, and this number is rising. The average monthly rent in Frederick is $1500 - $2000. We can help by supplying some basic needs. The attached flyer shows their wish list for goods, or, as you will also see, you can simply use the “Donate Here” QR code to make a vital cash donation instead of shopping! You may leave donations on the table in the lower gathering space.
