One of the many venues that Project Connections is contracted with, Healthy Start, is a local Baltimore City agency that provides counseling service to women and children.

Chase Brexton (25 boxes donated) – Chase Brexton was founded in 1978 as a gay health clinic and has expanded from a small organization only serving the gay community into a health center for people who are medically underserved. The health care center began providing services to people with HIV/AIDS and has built a strong reputation in Baltimore. In 1995, the center opened an in-house pharmacy that was beneficial to the patients because they could now receive medications at the time of their appointment. This benefit increased the quality of the health care program offering general primary care services to all people, regardless of HIV status.
