Providence St. John Baptist Church
Providence St. John Baptist Church is a family church in Upper Marlboro, Maryland committed to serving its neighbors. Their community garden, founded in 2021, has not only benefitted local food banks, but also provided high school students and local volunteers an opportunity to learn about maintaining a garden, soil conservation, and the importance of organically grown produce.
Pepco provides support for the garden, including a one-time $5,000 employee volunteer grant, and employees volunteer monthly to help maintain it.

Jubilee Housing
Jubilee Housing builds diverse, compassionate communities by offering deeply affordable housing and expanding equitable access to renewable energy in the community.
Through a community solar program, Pepco, New Partners Community Solar, and Jubilee Housing are able to capture solar energy from Pepco’s headquarters to support the District’s Department of Energy and Environment’s (DOEE) Solar for All program, which directly benefits Jubilee residents. This, in addition to easy access to family programs, support services, and thriving neighborhoods, gives low-income residents the opportunity to overcome barriers and build successful, fulfilling lives.
