Supporting families with everyday needs so they can focus on stability and growth.
At Bright Star Support Services, we know that sometimes it’s the simple things — like food, clothing, or a ride to an appointment — that make all the difference. We offer practical support to help families get through hard times and move toward a brighter future.
We help by:
▪ Providing gently used clothing, shoes, and baby gear
▪ Connecting families to food pantries and hot meal programs
▪ Offering transportation support for appointments or school
▪ Sharing parenting tools, workshops, and resources
▪ Referring to job training, housing, or education services
Whatever the need, we meet families with respect, empathy, and real help.
▪ Locating emergency shelter or transitional housing
▪ Referrals to housing agencies and voucher programs
▪ Rental assistance and eviction prevention support
▪ Coordinating with service providers and caseworkers
▪ Accessing essential items for a new home

When families don’t have to worry about the basics — like what their children will eat, wear, or how they’ll get to an appointment — they can focus on growth, healing, and long-term success.
Providing access to essential items not only eases financial strain but also restores dignity and hope. Every pair of shoes, every ride, every food box is a step toward a stronger, more stable future for the whole family.
1 in 3 Maryland households with children struggles to meet basic needs.
Many working families earn too much to qualify for public assistance but still can’t afford essentials like diapers or transportation.
More than 11% of Maryland families report food insecurity, even if they are employed full-time.
Lack of access to transportation is one of the top reasons children miss medical appointments or are late to childcare.
