Charm City Care Connection, located in Baltimore, MD, is dedicated to promoting health, self-determination, and self-advocacy for individuals and communities affected by drug use, stigma, poverty, and inequities. With a primary focus on serving individuals who use drugs, the organization's work is grounded in dignity, justice, and respect, with a commitment to involving members of affected communities in planning and programming.
Founded in 2009 by local students in collaboration with East Baltimore community leaders, Charm City Care Connection started as Charm City Clinic, offering preventive health screenings and comprehensive case management to enhance access to high-quality healthcare services. Recognizing the growing crisis of drug use and related health issues in East Baltimore, the organization expanded its services in 2019 to include harm reduction programs such as overdose education, sterile syringe distribution, and community engagement initiatives.
Charm City Care Connection's holistic approach includes regular drop-in hours, weekly community lunches, and leisure activities, in addition to its core services. The organization continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of the community while upholding its values of transparency, healing, anti-oppression, community, non-judgment, love, and joy.
