Raising the funds needed to make the SOUTH BALTIMORE EJ CENTER a reality 💸
Pay-What-You-Can Ticketing
Tickets begin at just $15. The South Baltimore EJ Center is a space made by the community for the community. Every person’s contribution makes a difference in building this space that will serve generations to come.
Venue
We’ll be celebrating at Baltimore Unity Hall (1505 Eutaw Place, Baltimore, MD 21217). It’s a 10-15 minute walk from the State Center subway station. The CityLink yellow line runs in front of the building, while CityLink gold stops a 10-15 minute walk south. There is ample street parking around Unity Hall.
About the EJ Center
All proceeds from Harvest of Hope 2026 will go toward construction costs for the South Baltimore Environmental Justice Center. The EJ Center, located at 1601 Locust Street, will serve as a community hub for housing and environmental justice education, research, and organizing in South Baltimore.
We envision a space where citizen science takes place, where community organizations gather, and where residents turn for support and resources to challenge the environmental burdens we face.
Collaboratively designed and sustainably built, the EJ Center will feature large open spaces for community events and co-working, private office spaces for SBCLT staff and budding local businesses, and a short-term rental housing unit.
