We brought out the Baltimore Monopoly boards during threadHOURS® at TouchPoint last week! These boards not only feature Thread (as a Community Chest space), but also iconic places like @MissShirleys! Have you played Monopoly lately? 🎲
This summer, Patterson volunteer Justin offered sailing lessons to Thread young people! Pictured is young person Dontay, who got a chance to captain the boat for a bit on a particularly nice day. Have you ever been sailing in the Baltimore harbor?⛵
🌟 Happy Labor Day from all of us at Thread! 🌟
Today, we honor the hard work and dedication of individuals who contribute to our communities and the history of the labor movement. In recognition of this important day, our offices will be closed.
Michael, a young person from Thread's Patterson community, recently visited @CCBCMD
to check out the campus and begin the enrollment process for the Automotive Technology program! We are so excited to be part of Michael's next big step.
What's a favorite haunt of the Thread community? @RHouseBaltimore, of course! When a planned hike got rained out, the Douglass community pivoted to dinner at R House so everyone could get something they like. What's your favorite place to eat in Baltimore? 😋
