About SHIP of Frederick County- SHIP of Frederick County exists to support students in need within our community. Students experiencing homelessness can be found in nearly every school in the Frederick County Public School System, affecting all grades and ethnicities, with numbers increasing each year.

Founded in early 2014, SHIP began after the community came together in late 2013 upon discovering the extent of student homelessness, highlighted by the urgent need of a 12-year-old boy. This initiative has since grown into a dedicated partnership involving individuals, organizations, human service agencies, businesses, and government, all working together to advocate and provide for homeless youth in Frederick County.
