Holiday Giving: Faith Connections provides coordination and distribution of meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts to families in need in the greater Damascus-Clarksburg area. We work with the Montgomery Volunteer Center as part of a wide Holiday Giving program.
Each year approximately 300 families in our up-county area are assisted with additional help from local churches, businesses, various organizations, and individuals. This includes approximately 1300 volunteer hours with an estimated $65,000 in food and gifts to our neighbors in need. Needs: Sponsors and donations are needed for the upcoming holiday season.
If you are a family in need of help with food and gifts for the holidays, please contact your child's MCPS counselor. If you would like to become a sponsor, please let us know by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/qhiS1Lfi2zsSjMtAA
