SHIP is a non-profit community organization that addresses the urgent needs of Frederick County public school students encountering homelessness.

The Frederick County community came together in late 2013, determined to lend a hand and provide relief and support to the hundreds of Frederick County Public School (FCPS) students who are encountering homeless. We chose to take the initiative - do what's right, take care of urgent needs, and do it now. Working in tandem with FCPS and a number of Frederick County human service agencies, we are strictly focused on providing for these children in need.
