Johns Hopkins partners with local nonprofit and service agencies to connect our employees with families and senior citizens in need during the holiday season.
In an effort to make our program as contactless and safe as possible this year, Hopkins employees will purchase gift cards only for their family or senior.
Sign up here to select the family/families or senior(s) you would like to support.
