Slavic Community Center Initiative

Your support needed!!! SANC has an initiative to establish a Slavic Community Center in the Slavic area of Baltimore, Fell's Point. Such Community Center would provide high added value for the Slavic community here, as there is a large amount of people with Slavic origins in Baltimore and the are.

Practical information:

SANC already has a building in mind that should serve as a Slavic Community Center. The building is located at 606 S. Ann Street, Baltimore, Maryland - in the heart of the Slavic area of Baltimore, Fell's Point. This building was until recently the city's Public Library. The Slavic population in Baltimore is over 100.000 people, and the Slavic community of Baltimore is centered around this area, with a number of Slavic churches, several housing communities for the elderly, cafés (Ze Mean Bean Café), shops, youth centers and stores.
