MESSAGE FROM THE BALTIMORE COUNTY EXECUTIVE

It is my pleasure to introduce Community Resources 2014 to Baltimore's citizens. We take pride in knowing that the 17th edition of Community Resources provides Baltimore's communities with information on the services and resources that support our families, loved ones and friends. This is the second year that Baltimore County and Baltimore City Governments have partnered to create a regional resource directory to serve all of Baltimore's citizens.

Seventy-five thousand complimentary copies of Community Resources will be circulated throughout Baltimore during 2014, and Baltimore County Government is particularly pleased to offer an online edition at communityresources.

We believe this directory provides one-stop shopping for every member of your community. Please take a few moments to review the wide range of services and programs serving our citizens through Baltimore County Government.

Community Resources is a revenue-producing publication that helps support volunteerism in the County and is printed at no cost to Baltimore County Government.

Thank you for using Community Resources 2014. I hope you and your family will use the directory to explore all of the resources and services that Baltimore County and Baltimore City have to offer.

Very Truly Yours,

Kevin Kamenetz Baltimore County Executive

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

It is my pleasure to introduce Baltimore County Department of Aging's (BCDA) 17th edition of Community Resources 2014; an annual resource directory serving older adults, baby boomers, caregivers, families, adults with disabilities and professionals. For the second year, this respected publication represents a collaboration with Baltimore City Government as a way to provide one informational resource for both Baltimore County and City residents. Our valued partnership forges an exciting opportunity to enrich the directory's content while expanding the publication's distribution through a regional outreach.

The content of Community Resources includes the most current information available for all citizens. As a Maryland Access Point site, particular emphasis has been placed on expanding the publication's resources to support persons with disabilities. The directory's content includes government, non-profit and business listings. Readers will also notice blue highlighted listings throughout the directory. These highlighted listings represent sponsors of the directory. By sponsoring this publication, businesses and non-profits are supporting the mission of BCDA. To learn more about powerful sponsorship and or advertising opportunities at the BCDA, please phone 410-887-2012.

Community Resources will be distributed in senior centers, libraries, hospitals, government agencies, doctor's offices, community associations, senior housing, faith communities, business partners, professional conferences, nutrition sites/services, outreach events and more. Also available online at communityresources, this resource is available 24/7 to support Internet-savvy clients, professionals and long-distance caregivers.

Creating a foundation for informed decision-making relies on consumer education. We believe Community Resources helps to provide the foundation that supports Baltimore communities. Whether you are searching for an assisted living or determining where to exercise, this publication contains the resources for living life to the fullest. Help educate and empower your family, friends and community by using Community Resources to guide your path to resources in Baltimore. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Joanne E. Williams, Director Baltimore County Department of Aging
