Collect Thanksgiving Food Baskets-Sponsor a Family-Office Gift Drives & more (Holiday Request Mont. Co. Holiday Giving Coalition
What
Volunteer Center: Montgomery County Volunteer Center
Posted By: A Wider Circle (Approved SSL MCPS)
Description:
The need is great this year and A Wider Circle is asking for your help so that our neighbors in need will have food on their holiday tables and gifts to open this holiday season. Please consider donating one or more food baskets along with a grocery gift card to serve 4-6 people for Thanksgiving. In December please help by sponsoring a family - we provide information on the family along with wish lists. We are also looking for community minded companies to do gift drives for a variety of age groups. The more people who help the more people we can serve.

This is a great activity for groups of friends, classmates, co-workers, families and others to work on throughout the holiday period. Volunteers collect items when it is convenient for them and then deliver the items to the clients or drop them off at our Center and other volunteers will be available to make the delivery.

This opportunity is great for Groups!
