It is not too late to contribute to the Town’s annual Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets. We are helping 150 Montgomery County Public School families in need with a bountiful meal this upcoming holiday. Now in its 8th year, the Town is part of a larger County effort to help MCPS families with groceries not only for their Thanksgiving meal, but throughout the long holiday weekend.
Checks (payable to YMCA-YFS) can still be dropped off at the Town Office or to Georgia Guhin (4006 Rosemary Street). All donations are greatly appreciated. $25 purchases a turkey; $50 purchases groceries; $75 purchases an entire basket.
Thanks for supporting our community effort this Thanksgiving.
