Get Involved

There are countless ways to get involved with the York Road Community. We hope you join us!

Govans Community Fridge

A 24-7 “Give What You Can, Take What You Need” resource for perishable and non-perishable food on the side of the Govans Green Resource Hub at 5104 York Road (smaller building). We partner with the B’More Community Fridge Network, local businesses, Loyola and neighborhood donors, and other donor networks to bring food and pantry items to the Govans community. If you have food items to donate, please walk or drive up to the refrigerator site and leave them in the Community Fridge.

Through a partnership with Reproductive Justice Maryland, the Fridge’s pantry is also a site for the Little Pink Pantry Program. We are collecting feminine hygiene products.

York Road Community Days (YRCD)

Our signature Saturday service program connects members of the Loyola community with neighborhood leaders for mornings of service during Loyola’s fall and spring semesters. Dates vary throughout the year, and projects are mostly outdoors. Members of the Loyola community can find YRCD opportunities on the Bridge. York Road area residents can email yricommercial@loyola.edu for more information.
