85% of students in Network partner schools rely on Free Meals, a reflection of need.
They lack the basics that kids need to focus, learn, and thrive — and struggle to make the most of school.
You can set local students up for success.
Partner with the Student Support Network to bring them supplies, carefree school days, and the confidence to be their best.
The carnival may have come to an end, but the impact continues!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Student Support Network’s 2026 A Night for the Network! From the carnival fun and laughter to the incredible generosity that filled the room, it was an unforgettable evening celebrating the power of community and giving back.
To our amazing sponsors, donors, attendees, volunteers, and community partners, YOU are the heart of our mission! Your support helps ensure Baltimore County students facing poverty and food insecurity have access to the essentials they need to feel supported, confident, and ready to learn.
Because of you, we're doing more than hosting an incredible event. We're making a meaningful difference in the lives of students who need us most.
The games may be over, but our mission never stops. Thank you for stepping right up and showing up for our students!
Please check out our photo gallery of this year's event.
The Student Support Network provides food, basic necessities, and advocacy to support the well-being of Baltimore County Public School students in need.
Rooms of Support
We meet students where they are. Twenty school-based Rooms of Support areas stocked with food, school supplies, clothing, and personal care products — all free to children who need them.
Advocacy
Aiming to create systemic change, we speak up for the needs of students living in poverty, whose voices tend to be heard the least. We advocate for change through policy, budget, and awareness.
Meeting Emergency Needs
Devastating emergencies — a fire, a global pandemic, death of a parent – happen,and we spring into action to help prevent further harm to children.
