Due to the tremendous food insecurities of our families in our communities due to COVID -19, we were able to purchase and donate food for the following four (4) food pantries: Rockville Help, Gaithersburg Help, Germantown Help and Manna Food. This was our second round of donations and was truly needed. A ‘thank you’ to Deacons Ken Fleming and David Wiggins for helping us to load and unload at the various locations.
Our Section’s Winter Drive was a great success! Our Sisters were very generous in the items donated. We had hundreds, YES hundreds of socks for the whole family. There were many hats, gloves, scarves, men and women undergarments.
The Christmas gifts bags included items similar to last year: lip balms, Godiva chocolates, hand sanitizers (in gift pouch), tissues, cough drops, and hand lotion Special thanks to Pat Jackson, who helped to assemble the bags and to Carol Praylor who funded many of the items.
“Home First is a permanent supportive housing program that services individuals who have had lived experience with chronic homelessness. We collaborate with local case managers to make sure their goals and needs are met and if any concerns arise – we work with them and their supports to ensure they remain stably housed.”
Provide Welcome Home Kits, i.e., kitchen, bathroom and bedroom items to the Montgomery County Homeless Coalition and the Helping Hands Shelter to those individuals transitioning from a shelter to a home.
