Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreational Center

"Ruth M. Kirk Recreation and Learning Center is a Baltimore City pillar no matter what side of town you're from. They serve all, help all. Arthur Kirk 3rd, Founder is a throwback to old school community activism. No talk just serve."

"Today was the scheduled time for the distribution of face shields, hand sanitizer, smoke alarm, etc. Such kindness was shown to me and as a result I was able to bless other Seniors. Thank you Mr. A. "Squeaky" Kirk for all that you do for our Youth, Community, etc."

"I took my son to this rec center for an event called Maryland Gone Wild. There were wildlife educators there with a few of their wildlife animal friends. Upon entering the building it seemed small, that was until the educators brought two large camels out. The space we had to move around seemed a little tight with the other families moving around as well. That was my first time inside that rec center so I'm not sure if a larger room could have been available or if the room we were in was the largest room. This rec center is not as visible to a passerby as most rec centers are so I'm happy this one was used for this event."

"A safe place for kids after school to get help with homework and other things. They really help out the community with good and clothes drives and a million other things for the people in our community. Most families would struggle a lot more of it wasn't for the help provided for them. Carlose and Squeaky do all of this without any pay or looking for anything in return other than keeping these kids off the corner and I'm the books. They truly are God sent to help their community."

"Wonderful staff dedication to keeping kids off the corner. I grew up at this rec and I'm glad to be able to share this with my own children. Carlose has dedicated his time to the neighborhood children. He goes above and beyond. Not only does he help the kids but our community as well!!!!"
