Menucha, Inc.

Genuine Care  +
Expert Programming =
Peace Of Mind.

When it comes to Baltimore’s special children, the formula is clear.  See each child as they are, be creative, and cheer, cheer, cheer.

Welcome to Menucha!

To reach that goal, we have to ask ourselves some questions.
Where can this participant succeed?
What background is he/she coming from?
How can we give them the best possible experience, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually?

With those answers in hand, we put together a game plan.

We match each participant with programming built for success.  Aside from our day program, sessions are held during off-school hours, giving our families a well-deserved break.

Each and every participant leaves with a smile on his/her face, and can’t wait for next time.

Quality of life – theirs, and yours.

“Menucha” means “rest” or “peace of mind.”

But it also connotes a feeling of calm, of feeling that one’s needs are being taken care of.

Our mission is to give that feeling to our families.  

You will be able to breathe easy knowing we’re taking care of your special child.  You’ll have some time to run an important errand, to give attention to your other children, or to sit and chat over coffee with another Menucha parent.

We’re here to improve quality of life – theirs, and yours.

And we bring this mission to all qualifying families in a culturally sensitive manner.

The Menucha Team

At Menucha, we like to keep the management side small.
We’ve got our core staff that takes care of everything behind the scenes.

On the ground, it’s quite the opposite – we bring in however many professionals and practitioners are needed to give our participants everything they need.

And we’ve got a knack for finding the most amazing volunteers.

Our criteria for joining?

Deeply realize you’re getting more than you’re giving.

Good vibes all around

We couldn’t be prouder of our participants.
Seeing their smiles when they walk in gives us all the encouragement we need.

You’re here because you know what you need.  And we’re here to give it.
