You don’t know how you are going to pay the rent, much less manage to make a Thanksgiving dinner or afford gifts for your children during the December holidays. <strong>This is the reality for many families living in Montgomery County, as a typical family of four needs over $91,000 in income to afford the basic necessities in the county</strong>. Children in the county experience a poverty rate of over 9%, while 35% of public school students qualify for free/reduce meals (FARMS). </span> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For over 30 years, the Holiday Giving Project of Montgomery County has provided Thanksgiving and December holiday assistance to low-income households. </span> </span> <span style="font-size:14px;"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A network of social workers, school counselors, and other human service professionals refer families in need for holiday assistance to the County’s Department of Health and Human Services. The Department then distributes validated referrals among <strong>the Holiday Giving Coalition, made up of local non-profits, faith-based organizations, and governments</strong>. Each member of the coalition adopts specific zip codes in the county to serve referred families in need, including by providing food, gift cards, and toys collected through donations. </span> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In 2023, the project successfully matched 13,300+ families and served over 27,500 children with 41 partner organizations. Schools provided half of all referrals. The Coalition is currently accepting referrals for the 2024 season starting 9/20/2024.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For more information, see: </span> </span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:14px;"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span> </span> <a href="https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/HHS/Resources/Files/PACS/DHHS_PACS_HGP_Brochure.pdf"> <span style="font-size:16px;"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size:14px;"> Holiday Giving Project Brochure </span> </span> </span> </a></li> <li><span style="font-size:16px;"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size:14px;"></span> </span> </span> <span style="font-size:16px;"><a href="https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/HHS/Resources/Files/PACS/Join the Holiday Giving Coalition.pdf"> </a><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/HHS/Resources/Files/PACS/Join the Holiday Giving Coalition.pdf"> </a><span style="font-size:14px;"><a href="https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/HHS/Resources/Files/PACS/Join the Holiday Giving Coalition.pdf"> Join the Holiday Giving Coalition to Help Families in Need</a> </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">(for organizations)</span> </span> </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="color: rgb(28, 60, 111); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> <span style="font-size: 22px;">How Do I Get Referred?</span> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">You can get referrals for assistance from school counselors, non-profit social service agencies, government social service agencies, and any of the agencies listed as part of the Holiday Giving Project Coalition of providers.
