This event is a chance to celebrate their incredible accomplishments and raise support for their mission. Even a small donation can make a big difference. We’d love for you to join us – together, let’s help San Mar turn their vision into reality!”

\\ The Impact!
“All I can say is that BCOH was the one and only reason other than my own hard work that during these hard times I was successful in recovering from rock-bottom homelessness coming from some very traumatic events in my and my children’s life to having a home and full-time job and loving stable family life.
-Mother receiving
services in Hagerstown
“You were the only one who knew I could take care of my kids. Actually, you have been the only person who can see what I am able to do. Not very many people give me the opportunity to show them what I can do and how much I understand.”
-Single father of
two young children
“My emotional walls are also coming down. I used to think that it was the world against me. In reality, it was myself against my thoughts. Slowly I have been more present with my thoughts and letting go of the heaviness that holds me back. San Mar has a very special place in my heart.”

\\ Exciting Plans
San Mar is now poised to launch a new initiative - Full Service Housing for Transition Age Youth.
San Mar will undergo a $7.8M campus renovation.
The original group home in Boonsboro will be redesigned to create a 15-unit apartment building for young women transitioning from foster or group care to independence.
On-site services including case management and life skills counseling will provide wrap-around care toward thriving adulthood for this population.
The program aims to build a bridge from systems of care to stable and thriving adulthood, preventing homelessness and further hardship.
Join us for an evening that leads to a brighter dawn!
