How We Help
The CCC services residents through the provision of emergency food items, personal hygiene products, clothing, school supplies and financial literacy as well as information and referrals to other area services. When funding is available, we also provide support to those needing utility assistance or when facing court-ordered eviction from their homes. Those in need should visit CCC during our hours of operation to take part in a brief client-intake process.
We're also now participating in The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income individuals, including the elderly, by providing them with emergency food assistance. Households that meet eligibility criteria can receive TEFAP food from our agency once a month.

Qualifying for assistance from Maryland's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Maryland's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
