The Utility 2030 Collaborative (U2030) sponsored a Corporate Volunteer Serve Day at The Midnight Mission and assembled and donated 800 hygiene kits.

Have you ever thought (or perhaps even said), "Just get a job," in response to a homeless person asking for spare change?

Fostering Community Engagement During Park Cleanup
U2030 started its U2030 Design-Think-a-Thon with a cleanup project at Northwest Regional Park in April 2023. Nestled in the Baltimore, Maryland, metropolitan area, the park is on Deer Park Road in Owings Mills, Maryland. It emerged as a response to a significant population surge of approximately 24,000 individuals between 1990 and 2000. Renowned for its role as a destination for family outings, youth sports, and community gardens, the park is a vital communal space for locals.
