Founded in 2008 by Reverend Al Hathaway during his tenure as Pastor of Union Baptist Church, Beloved Community Services Corp. (BCSC) was created as an umbrella organization to provide a range of services in the 21201/21217 zip codes. After securing $15 million in New Market Tax Credits, Federal and State Historic Tax Credits, and corporate and philanthropic support, BCSC opened the new Justice Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center in July of 2024. This grant provided support for BCSC’s ongoing operations.
