The Agape House has a mission to provide food, clothing and the Gospel of Christ to disadvantaged persons in the Baltimore Metropolitan area.
Founded in 1983, by Carol De Borja, it was originally designed as a safe house for children while their parents underwent rehabilitation treatment for substance abuse. It existed for 14 years in this capacity, raising over 500 children, providing love, food, clothing, and private education, sponsored through private donations. Without this care, parents of these children would not have been able to receive treatment and their children would have continued to suffer neglect, many of them entering foster care.
