Addiction, homelessness, and despair rob people of their dignity and create tremendous isolation. They feel alone and hopeless. The solution is a loving community that holds people accountable and gives them hope every step of the way on their journey of recovery and restoration. That’s what Helping Up Mission is all about.
Where sacred and science come together.
We understand that people don’t just fall into addiction and destructive lifestyles. Rather, it’s often the result of wounds and trauma so deep that numbing the pain seems like the only option. That’s why our approach to treatment is holistic – combining the best of medicine, community, and spirituality to address each person’s physical, mental health, medical, educational, and vocational needs through one-on-one care. By God’s grace, minds are renewed, hope is restored, and lives are rebuilt.
Helping Up Mission provides hope to people experiencing homelessness, poverty, or addiction by meeting their physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs.
1. Christian – Providing a Christ-centered environment based upon Biblical principles of grace, love, and service.

Helping Up Mission has adopted The Apostles’ Creed as our Statement of Faith. It is the basis of our common belief and proclaims the source of our wisdom and power in helping men and women find answers to their life struggles.
While this is what we believe, we do not discriminate on the basis of faith or practice among those who need our help or desire to help us.
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
“Truly I tell you, whatsoever you do for the least of My brothers and sisters, you do for Me.”
Hi. I’m Daniel Stoltzfus, CEO of Helping Up Mission. And during my time at this incredible organization, I’ve come to truly experience the power of hope. For some, hope seems elusive and aspirational – you can’t experience it or see it firsthand. It happens on the inside, deep down. But it’s critical… because change is impossible unless you truly believe things can be different.
That’s what we do here at Helping Up Mission. By the grace of God, we meet needs, we see trauma healed, and we point men and women who have lost all hope toward a new path of transformation. And when all these are combined, they work together to kindle the flame of hope in a broken heart – moving people to become something they’ve only been able to dream about in the past, all with the strength of a Higher Power.
That’s why I’m excited about this work to transform lives here in Greater Baltimore. And I pray you’ll join us in our mission… for hope’s sake.
These business & organizations are building a better Baltimore alongside Helping up Mission. Some partners conduct food, toiletry, or coat drives to gather supplies. Others send groups to serve meals and interact with our clients. Still others provide professional services to our clients, or initiate internal fundraising campaigns. All are valued friends and partners who help make our life-changing work possible!
