For over 30 years the Mission of Love Charities has found a way out of no way to help those who cannot help themselves.

On Nov 14, MOLC held “Together We Love: A Gala of Community And Compassion,” its annual gala where the festivities were enjoyed by some 250 guests and VIPs.

“We didn’t reach our specific goals, but we achieved our mission,” said MOLC Executive Director Adenia M. Bradley.

Mission of Love Charities persists in its commitment to serve homeless and low-income families and individuals in the community., so states the MOLC site. It began in 1991 primarily as a food resource. The organization quickly grew to offering clothing and shelter support and later aid to families — specifically single women with children. It serves thousands of residents each year in those services. Today, however, MOLC offers much more in services and programs that range from workforce development and job training to rental, security deposit and utilities assistance.

MOLC has served 21,000 meals this year (to date) and has provided 950 visits to the Day Assisted 200 families and individuals experiencing homelessness.  It has empowered 150 clients with job training and employment opportunities in 2024.  

Sheila Curry served as the keynote speaker. Sheila Curry, the wife of the late beloved former County Executive Wayne K. Curry who was instrumental in supporting the growth of MOLC, also addressed the audience. She noted that her husband would be delighted and astonished at what the Mission has become today.

Retiring Maryland Senator Ben Cardin was honored for his efforts in supporting MOLC and residents of the state of Maryland for over two decades.
