Montgomery County Hosts Holiday Gift Drive

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Bring holiday cheer to neighbors in need by participating in this year's Holiday Gift Drive in Montgomery County.

Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless (MCCH) holds this annual event to help the homeless and those in need. The drive provides wrapped gifts for the 1,600 men, women and children the organization serves.

Residents can help spread holiday cheer by donating gifts for those in need. MCCH put together a list of gifts that those in need have requested. Items include a Giant gift card, kitchen items, sneakers, winter blankets, toys and more.

Supplies may be shipped or delivered to the MCCH Administrative Offices at 600-B East Gude Drive, Rockville, MD 20850.

You can also help by joining the wrapping team. Last year, Montgomery County residents spent 230 hours sorting and wrapping gifts.

Volunteers are needed during regular business hours between Nov. 27 and Dec. 21. The wrapping will take place at the office in Rockville.

If you have any questions, you can contact Lynn Rose at lrose@mcch.net or 301-217-0314 ext. 117.
