"Empower Our Youth: Support NEHI's Bellxcel Program at the New Community Center!"

Dear Community Members,

We are thrilled to announce the opening of a new community center by NEHI, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing affordable shared-equity housing in northeast Baltimore. Since our inception in 2014, we have been committed to revitalizing the North East Baltimore area by renovating vacant properties and offering opportunities for low-income families to become homeowners.

As an extension of St. Anthony’s Community Advocacy committee, NEHI recognizes the importance of giving back to underserved communities. That is why we are excited to launch our new community center on July 1st, which will provide enriching Bellxcel programs for children in the Baltimore inner city region. These programs aim to enhance academic skills, foster creativity, boost confidence, and encourage critical thinking in students.

We believe that every child deserves access to quality educational opportunities regardless of their background or financial situation. Your support is crucial in helping us achieve this goal. Whether through volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness about this initiative, you can make a significant impact on the lives of children who may not otherwise have access to such valuable programs.

Your involvement can help us enroll more students in these programs at no cost and create a brighter future for our youth. Together, let's empower our community's children to reach their full academic potential.

Thank you for considering supporting NEHI and the Bellxcel programs – your contribution can truly make a difference.
