ThanksGIVING in October -- 16th Annual Town Thanksgiving Dinner Donations

This Thanksgiving our Town can help 150 nearby Montgomery County Public School families in need with $100 food gift cards from Giant and Aldi. The timetable for donations is the month of October, so school families will have the cards by mid-November for holiday food shopping.

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) or to the Town Office 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 150 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 will receive an acknowledgement of your donation from the YMCA. 

The YMCA’s youth and family services programs are helping more families than ever in our neighboring down-county schools. With food insecurity on the rise in Montgomery County, the holidays are especially challenging for many more MCPS families this year. In a small but very immediate way, we can help make a difference.

Have questions?  Send an email to the Town Office at townoffice@townofchevychase.org; to Georgia Guhin at gbguhin@gmail.com; or to Bridget Hartman at bridget@hartmanjr.net.
