Hello neighbors,
Struggle and worry have seemed to permeate 2020 thus far. From tensions on the global stage, concerns over local crime, and now the pandemic of COVID-19. There has been a lot that could knock anyone off their feet for a bit.
Now is when we need our neighbors the most, and it is when our neighbors need us the most. The goal of the Butchers Hill Association has always been to promote neighborly outreach and foster a strong sense of community. All of the BHA sponsored events strive to create space for each of you to meet your neighbors and put names to all the faces you see around Butchers Hill.
We want to reach out to you, asking that you reach out to your neighbors. It’s a great time to check in, say hi, and even inquire if anyone needs help. Pick up the phone, send a text, or call someone the next block over. Please consider introducing yourself to someone you’ve seen around but haven’t met yet. Especially given the concerns over COVID-19 and the increase in social distancing, it’s important that we find safe ways to remain a strong neighborhood. Please be aware that some of our neighbors may be experiencing difficult times right now, and need our assistance and patience more than usual. There may be neighbors who cannot see family for fear of the risk of spreading the virus. Others may be experiencing recent job loss or income reduction, or some that are in the midst of figuring out how to care for their children while still working. And some may be quarantined or isolated in their home without the ability to purchase groceries or other supplies.
Growing our community and increasing the positive impact we have on one another has the potential to have a wonderful ripple effect on our neighborhood. As Mr Rogers said, “All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors--in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver."
If you need, or know someone that needs, non-medical assistance and don't have someone to ask for help, please call Beth at 240-353-6333 or email her at
butchershillpresident@gmail.com. The Butchers Hill Association Executive Committee will work to find a solution for you.
Butchers Hill is known as the friendliest neighborhood in Baltimore. Please help us continue to put that description into action.
Take care of yourselves and each other,
Amy, Andrew, Beth, Billy, Brianna, Dan, Doug, Emily, Jay, and Sarah
