GSSCC Members Generously Step Forward to Help Fire Survivors
GSSCC feels proud to be part of such a caring community of businesses that have stepped up to help the victims of the recent tragic explosion and fire that destroyed a Long Branch apartment building and devastated so many lives. We have been heartened by the generosity and leadership of countless GSSCC members - both our nonprofit organizations and our businesses - that have taken steps to help. Please join GSSCC in recognizing these caring member companies.
Thanks especially to Montgomery Housing Partnership (MHP), that has made this effort a part of its overall mission by coordinating financial contributions. Thanks also to A Wider Circle, the Sheraton Silver Spring, and
El Golfo
for collecting donations of needed personal items and school supplies. A big shout-out to All Set Restaurant,for donating 100% of its revenues last Monday, a total of $12,820, to MHP's efforts. Thanks also to AG Kitchen, Fenwick Beer & Wine and Kaldi's that stepped up to donate a percentage of several days sales. Thanks to YMCA Silver Spring and YMCA Youth & Family Services for collecting supplies, and for providing free summer day camp for the displaced children.
The need is still great, especially for financial support to help the survivors somehow put their lives back together. Members can help by making donations through
