In addition to providing food, the nonprofit organization distributed hygiene kits and offered housing support, mental health resources, and free haircuts to attendees.
"Everybody needs help and we may not know when our downfall would be. So it's important to just continue to keep uplifting others and pass them on to vital resources that we come across that we know that it can benefit their life," said a representative from the organization.
The Baltimore Homeless Project has been serving the city's homeless population for five years. The organization will hold its annual fundraiser on August 8th.
