OUR MISSION

Since opening its doors in 2004, Zen Rescue Barn has been driven by a core mission: to fight against all forms of exclusion—whether based on social, economic, cultural, or racial factors. We work to create an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, can flourish, access their rights, and be treated with dignity. This mission fuels our work every day, with unwavering determination.

Zen Rescue Barn was founded with a strong commitment to supporting the people of Baltimore, MD—a community shaped over time by complex social, economic, and cultural challenges. Our purpose is to address these issues by offering a space that fosters unity, mutual support, and collective efforts to improve residents’ quality of life.
