Baltimore, MD

In January 2018, LPF expanded to a second warehouse in Hampden to better serve the Baltimore area. LPF Baltimore hit the ground running and quickly mobilized local schools, sports leagues, businesses, and families to donate their unused sporting equipment to help local kids in need. By the end of its second year, LPF Baltimore had collected over $1 million worth of sporting equipment, engaged 500+ volunteers, and distributed over $1 million worth of sporting equipment to 188 unique programs in need.

Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickb Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickball with new friends at summer camp? Play is a staple of summer, but for many kids there is a financial barrier keeping them on the sidelines. LPF helps remove this barrier by providing free sports equipment to programs like @camp_jamison Across three years, Camp Jamison staff picked up 361 pieces of sports equipment from LPF including tennis balls and rackets, cones, skateboards, and basketball gear. The basketball gear from LPF was a game changer for campers who don’t play basketball regularly, and reinforced what Camp Jamison is all about: building skills, relationships, and confidence to navigate life with a purpose. Through LPF's Summer of Play campaign, you can help us create more cherished sports memories for kids across the country. For every $100 donated, we can equip 20 kids to enjoy all that sports have to offer this summer. Together, we can provide free gear and a summer of PLAY for 50,000 kids. Check out our story and bio for more info!
