Overview
Founded in 1987, Laurel Advocacy & Referral Services, Inc. (LARS) was established to provide emergency food and financial assistance to Laurel residents in crisis. Local congregation leaders and community members created LARS to serve as a central point of contact and source of support for the growing numbers of people who were coming to their doors for help. Today, LARS is staffed by trained case managers and continues to receive financial and volunteer support from its founding faith-based organizations. LARS serves homeless and low-income families and individuals. LARS has a passion to empower individuals in need of food, housing, and financial assistance to achieve well-being, stability, and self-sufficiency. Over the past three decades, LARS has grown significantly in terms of physical presence, team and programming. Every day, community members in need seek support from LARS. Most of LARS’ clients are Asset Limited, Income constrained and employed (ALICE). More commonly referred as the working poor, individuals and families seek out help from LARS in some of the most stressful times of their lives. LARS seeks to restore hope and well-being for those who seek support. To learn more, please connect with us on social media, such as this LinkedIn page. Need assistance? Please call 301-776-0442 and press option 2. One of LARS’ caring case managers will be able to assist you. Interested in getting involved? Please email us at fundraiser@laureladvocacy.org.
