Once again, our Town has been asked to help 100 MCPS families over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Food insecurity is very real for many nearby neighbors in our county. Food prices are up: bread, cereal and milk prices are up 16% and egg prices up nearly 40% over their costs a year ago. Families are facing difficult decisions. Here is how you can help.
Drop off/mail a check payable to YMCA/YFS or Giant or Aldi gift cards to Georgia Guhin (4006 Rosemary Street, Chevy Chase, MD 20815) between October 1 and 31. If you would like us to pick up your donation, contact one of us below. Your donation of any amount will help purchase a $100 food card for each of the 100 families for the Thanksgiving Holiday. All additional funds raised will go toward extra gift cards. 100% of your donation will support MCPS families in need. The YMCA is not able to accept online donations for this special project. You however will receive an acknowledgement of your donation from the YMCA.
