30% From Program Revenue: How Helping Up Mission Funds a One-Year Recovery Program

One entry from the 1920s stopped me. The board recorded that the emergency fund was down to fifty dollars and the doors might have to close. The following month's entry records an unexpected gift, and the doors stayed open.

I sat down with @James Misner on The Kipos Group's On The Ground podcast to talk about what a 140-year legacy asks of the people carrying it now, about building a revenue model durable enough to hold it, and about a city that is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.

Someone once told me the overdose numbers in Baltimore were just statistics. They are not. Those are people with names like Angie and Quinn and Dave.

Thank you @James Misner and @The Kipos Group for the conversation. Link below if you want to listen.
