You Can Help Us Name Our New Emergency Shelter!  
We are in the home stretch of preparations for opening our new men’s emergency shelter. We are looking forward to 200 clients moving into this state-of-the-art facility that will provide not just a safe place to sleep, but everything our clients need to move forward in their lives.
 
The new shelter will serve as Montgomery County’s main shelter for men, serving some 750 clients a year on the path to more permanent housing.

Super Volunteer Gives Back After Long Career
Russ Smith was working as a financial professional for government IT when he started as a volunteer with MCCH in 2010. For the first two years, he made bag lunches for our men’s shelter. Then he started working in our employment program helping our clients with their resumes and job searches.
 
When Covid struck in 2020, that didn’t stop Russ - he continued his job counseling volunteer work remotely. Of his work, Russ said, “I love it. It makes me feel really great when someone gets a job.” He has also helped our clients get stimulus funding they were due, and more than one client sent him a photo holding their check! 
Super Volunteer Makes Big Difference for Family
Becky Ross was an active folk violin musician when “all her gigs were cancelled due to Covid.” She then decided to spend more of her time tutoring students in our permanent supportive housing program.
 
One family in particular had challenges due to Covid and virtual learning. She helped them get online and utilized flash cards and homework support when the kids were overwhelmed, making a real impact. Becky became a beloved family member and offered an experience the children will take with them for the rest of their lives.
Volunteers Donate 90,000 Meals and You Can Too
In 2021, community members took time to create for our shelter residents some 90,000 meals! The value of these meals is just under $300,000. Our community's effort is vital to the strength of our meals program. You can be a part of this effort by contacting volunteer@mcch.net.
