Social Impact Saturday - Volunteer + Cookout (October 2026)

Break A Difference is partnering with Parity Homes to transform two lots into flourishing gardens supporting the local community. This month, we are continuing the garden beautification projects we started in April with Parity Homes. Break A Difference is partnering with Parity Homes to support their mission of developing affordable housing in West Baltimore. Break A Difference will be providing supplies, facilitation, and tools to support volunteers of any skill level to conduct various tasks to beautify the lots including removal of debris, building outdoor furniture, installation of new fencing, and other garden projects. No previous skills required! Parity is an equitable development company that acquires and rehabilitates abandoned buildings by the block to create home ownership opportunities. They innovatively unlock gridlocked housing markets by leveraging the power of social capital. Parity creates upfront demand for homeownership opportunities in mostly abandoned neighborhoods by creating pathways for friends, families, congregations, coworkers, comrades, and other social collectives to purchase homes together block by block as a means of social justice, and community and wealth building. Learn more about the work Parity Homes is accomplishing in West Baltimore at www.parityhomes.com. Closed toed shoes are required, work boots recommended. Schedule 9:00am - 12:00pm: Morning shift 12:30pm - 1:00pm: Cookout Location: 501 North Carrollton Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21223 (map) There is street parking available.
