hub of essential resources, including 250,000 healthy meals and
2,000 health screenings that improve early childhood health
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) today announced Baltimore as its ninth
Healthy Cities location and officially kicked off the program with
a playground build at The Family Recovery Program. Working with the
Maryland Food Bank, a network of local health providers and
Baltimore City Public Schools, the program aims to provide up to
4,000 children and families in need with more than 250,000 healthy
meals, 2,000 health screenings, sustained nutrition education
programs and safe play spaces.
Over the past three years, Morgan Stanley Healthy Cities has
worked to deliver integrated health, nutrition and play programming
to children in need and their families in cities around the
world.
“Through Healthy Cities Baltimore, we are proud to leverage and
integrate the amazing work of local partners to support a child’s
healthy start to life,” said Joan Steinberg, Global Head of
Philanthropy, Morgan Stanley. “We’re excited to use the unique
Healthy Cities platform to strengthen the network of nutrition,
health and play services available to the children in
Baltimore.”
Healthy Cities Baltimore will work with local and national
nonprofits, including KaBOOM!, Feeding America, Total Healthcare,
Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, MedStar Harbor Health Hospital,
University of Maryland Extension and Baltimore City Public Schools,
to integrate their respective programming and deliver it in a hub
model for underserved Baltimore neighborhoods. The playground being
built is designed from drawings by the children who will use it and
will provide more than 200 kids from The Family Recovery Program a
safe play area where they can grow and develop. Morgan Stanley
employees will continue to play an integral role in implementing
and sustaining the programming and will provide more than 2,000
hours of volunteer service.
“Having access to meat and fresh produce on a regular basis will
be a lifeline for these families,” says Tim Regan, Vice President
of Programs & Network Relations for the Maryland Food Bank.
“Through the Healthy Cities program, we will be able to provide
monthly bulk food distributions to each of these schools.”
